Dear Alcohol
I remember the first time I met you. It was so exciting. You were the piece that I felt was missing all my life.You made me feel wonderful,happy and carefree. I feel in love with you from the start. As our relationship grew ,I wanted to see you more and more. You shared my happy times giving me glorious hours of pleasure.You gave me confidence making me feel independent and self assured. You made me feel pretty and the glow you gave me made me so warm and contented inside. You were my comfort in sad times helping me cope. You meant so much to me. I could never dream of not having you in my life. At first I was content to just be with you on the weekends. You were fun to take to a party. But more and more you became such an important part of my life that I wanted you with me all the time. For years you were my companion ,my best friend,my crutch. I became so dependent on you that I couldn't let you go.Life was unthinkable without you. I don't know exactly when my feelings started to change for you. Maybe it was when you became too controlling. You took away my independence. You kept me a prisoner in my own home not allowing me to go places and do things that I once enjoyed doing. You robbed me of my energy. I was having a harder and harder time trying to keep up with your demands. You were taking me away from my family and my friends. You took away my self respect,my dignity, my selfworth. Then when you had me beaten mentally you began to physically abuse me. I wanted out of our relationship but I was too weak.Death was easier to comprehend than living a life with you and also living without you. You finally made me hit bottom. But somewhere deep inside me a flicker of hope remained. In my despair I prayed for help to be free of you. I was fortunate that my prayer was heard and was answered. Bye the Grace of God I was given the strength to let you go. I rose from the ashes of what was left of me to begin a new life. It was hard leaving you behind and I still think of you from time to time and there have been days when I wanted you so much. But I think of all the turmoil and grief and heartache you caused me. I will not forget how cunning and baffling you are so I am always on the alert for you. I will live without you" one day at a time." I will remember you and I will never forget where you took me....I will remember......Goodbye Alcohol

Hi Pirate, I bet you feel better for having wrote that letter. Its amazing the way we can describe our (dysfunctional) relationship with alcohol can be described in the same terms as a dysfunctional marriage.
I'm so glad to read of your progress

I thank God for your flicker of hope. Thank you for reminding me of the deep seeded relationship with this disease.
Hi Pirate,
Thank You,
You literally wrote how I feel to. The love hate relationship. The beginning and end of the love story. The time line. The break up. The dis-function of the whole relationship with alcohol. The cover up. The truth. The brokenness and how it sets you free. Very well said Pirate! I'm grateful for your words. I'm so grateful that you have given life another chance, as it's so worth living. Yes, you are having the psychic change to. It happens sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, but it happens if we believe in a power greater then ourselves and work for it.
