It was a big part of my journey that helped me feel like I closed a chapter and took a leap into my life in recovery. Fortunately for me, my world crumbled when I lost a close family member. That led to a massive binge where I used more drugs than ever over a week-long period. Needless to say, I felt emotionally and physically destroyed. I was violently sick, and, in a panic, I searched online to see if I was experiencing some kind of poisoning.

I hate to tell you, but no one starts out their relationship to you with the idea that you will one day control their entire way of life. I have to hand it to you in that you have a very charismatic way about you. Luring us in with your promises of a good time and that you’ll take away all our worries. Having us believe you can solve our problems, take our stress away and connect us to others in ways we think we can’t on our own. I hoped you’d help me forget about my childhood pains and forget about my current ones. You added to my distress and sorrow, and you became the most dependent relationship I’ve ever had.
Taking the First Steps Toward Rehab
You made me do things I never thought I would be capable of doing. You told me everything would be just fine if I would let you control my life. All you ever did was take and take, goodbye letter to alcohol but you never gave. Saying goodbye to you seems like the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do. You’ve been around for quite some time now, and I thought you’d never leave.
My Personal and Professional Life Turned To Dust
You just have to put in the work and love yourself. Any time I had a moment of clarity and entertained the idea of recovery, you talked me out of it. You controlled everything, and it was for your own self-preservation. As I write this, it feels like I am placing blame on external factors.
