This started off with plenty of happy moments, like the first time I experienced getting drunk. I never thought you would let me go.

Maybe I was embarrassed to admit how much goodbye letter to alcohol I’d given you… But I was so desperate, I called someone I knew who was sober. He told me I didn’t have to fight you alone. I enrolled in a treatment center. The first few days were the worst.

A Goodbye Letter to Addiction

I want my life to go back to the way it used to be, but honestly, right now I could use some of the stuff you’ve sent me.
