Farewell Letter to My Addiction

I’ve gone back to school, and I’m close with my family again. I have a supportive girlfriend, and I’m building meaningful friendships. You were just part of a much bigger struggle I had to face within myself.

My Farewell to Addiction Letter and Guidance on Writing Your Own

The reality was that you caused those feelings within me in the first place. You have caused me to be a shadow of the person I was half a lifetime ago. I was not me when I used you, but a variation of somebody I thought I wanted to be. I abused you until you started to abuse me back. I justified using you, saying that you fueled my creativity when in reality all you did was sap away a bright and alert mind. For half my life you acted like a crutch, but now you have left me crippled.

• You convinced me I was smarter than others, that I could handle it all.
• I’m as much to blame as you, and I’ve finally decided that we can’t go on like this any longer.
• You told me that as long as I let you control everything in my life, everything would be okay.

• You turned me into what I hated more than anything else.
• Our rehab center in Palm Springs, California, offers a full continuum of customized care.
• Heroin did something for the patient, or else they wouldn’t have used it a second time.
• The letter above is just an example, and yours should be focused on your own experience and feelings.

You told me I was different, that I didn’t need anyone but you. You convinced me I was smarter than others, that I could handle goodbye letter to alcohol it all. Writing this letter is my way of saying goodbye to the hold you’ve had over my life. It’s time to let go, to heal, and to take back what I lost.
