1/30/2024 0 Comments Letter to my addiction![]() I never should have allowed you back into my life. I couldn’t turn you away so I gave you another chance. But then you came back knocking on my door with your bags in hand. I managed to escape from you for 3 months, I was so happy! I found true friends and finally gained control over my anxiety and depression. So I had to try to kill myself, you weren’t helping me, you were sucking the life out of me. I had to get away from you but you just wouldn’t leave. I couldn’t live with myself after what you made me do, who you made me hurt or how you made me feel. That’s when I realized that you were never a friend at all. You made me hate myself and you made me try to take my own life. You made me ruin friendships, ruin my self-esteem and you made me make horrible decisions that I can barely live with. Going out used to be fun, before you came along and showed your ugly self to me and all of my friends. If we weren’t drinking, we were wasting our time. And it wasn’t just one drink anymore, we needed bottles every single day to find the motivation to get out of bed. I couldn’t go a day without drinking, we had to have the alcohol to have fun. I thought that it was fun for a while, until things got really bad between us. You weren’t my friend, you didn’t care about me all you wanted to do was get messed up and make bad decisions. You were my lifeline, my best friend.Īs it turns out, I was wrong about you. I needed you to make me feel emotions, I needed you to make me love myself, I needed you to help me make friends and most importantly I needed you to help me get over my depression and anxiety. Going out and spending all of my money and time on alcohol, just so we could have fun. It wasn’t long until you had me wrapped around your finger, doing everything for you. I thought that I could handle you, but it turns out I couldn’t. Everywhere I went, you trailed behind me. It wasn’t long until you moved in for good, you made yourself as comfortable as you could get, never letting me leave your sight. ![]() There was something about you, you were unlike any friend I had ever had you made me feel great about myself, gave me courage to do things I never would have done without you and you allowed me to make so many other new friends. You presented yourself as this glorious friend, one I had searched my whole life for. ![]() At first, I thought we were friends, I thought that we could go and have fun nights out drinking with friends, but I was so wrong. You have overstayed your welcome and it’s time for you to pack your bags and leave. No longer will I be your slave, no longer will I serve and worship you, no longer will I allow you to make me suffer. To receive early access to the Ascent app, sign up here.
