Loving An Addict: Letter To The Man Who Chose Drugs Over Me

I am deciding that I have had enough of you. I was too scared to leave you before. I was scared of what my life might look like without you. I watched you dig my grave from day one.

Addiction Poems about Family

I offer prayers to drug abusers and say… ‚One day it will end, just like a bad dream’…. Without you, I am accomplishing more than I ever have. Without you, I am returning to the life and people I once loved because I know they still love me. Through writing this goodbye letter, patients often identify potential triggers for relapses.

• Lean on loved ones, family, and friends without shame, as this is one of the most courageous things you can do.
• As intoxicating as you were, I now began to feel your darkness come over me.
• Declare your decision to end the addiction and your commitment to a healthier life through treatment and support.
• What you do with your completed letter is up to you.
• I struggle with resentment because I’m a believer in love, truth, and respect.
• Of all my friends, you’re the one who always reached out to me – called me – called me back – never let me go too long before you checked in on me.

I’m not cured, but I am getting better and have been since July 6 of 2017 when you tried to kill me but I got help. For like your deceiving smoke, it’s just a fog to me now. What I do know now, is that I hate you. And recovering from you will be a battle I face until the day I die. But i’m DONE being your slave and allowing you to hold me captive. I was going through my notebook from treatment and came across a good-bye letter I wrote to my drug of choice, crystal meth.

I have been clean off of meth since June 15, 2018, and I always say if i can do it, anyone can. I thought it wasn’t possible until I lost custody of my children and had Drug rehabilitation to get clean to get them back and haven’t touched anything since. You consumed me and held me in the tightest grip until the age of 31. You had my kids taken away by CPS.

Cooped up in my apartment for weeks at a time with only you for company, I began to dawn on me that I was in an unhealthy and abusive relationship with you. You wouldn’t let me see anyone else. You seduced me with the idea that I was free of all prejudices and that “society” was trying to brainwash me.

Thank you for the lessons, thank you for leading me to recovery, thank you for being there when I would have checked out of life otherwise. Thank you for bringing the most amazing people into my life that I only know because they are fighting their own battles with you. But more that, FUCK YOU, go rot in hell, peace the fuck out. For so long I’d do anything for you because you were the best friend that goodbye letter to meth I had ever had.
