Dear Addiction

How are you? Now that I know who you and what you are, you’ve taken so much from me ( and I allowed you). You took my spirit and left me alone.

You took my friendships, family and left me to be full of regrets and sorrow. You took my freedom and gave me solitudes, anxiety and grief in return.
You robbed me of my self-worth and made me feel hopeless. You took my self esteem and left me feeling hollow and useless. You too my sanity and left me in chaos feeling inferior. You took my confidence and left me feeling insecure. You comprised my honest and made me live in lies and deceit. You took my humility and made me self-centred and full of self pity. You took my discipline and made me feel comfortable with failure.. all be it all you too me.

I am beginning to find hope. Finding the courage to take myself away from your obsessive, thoughtless erratic insanity and move forward without you.

The faith that I have found is stronger than you! You will now suffer being alone, afraid and powerless. Mine found G-d has given me peace, strength, courage, love and growth . He wants and accepts me for me and encourages my sobriety.

You were once my best friend and now you are my nemesis, for that I am entirely grateful.

Thank you for showing me how wrong we were for each other.

So long old friend, rest assured you will not be missed.

Signed,
