In high school and college, it was all fun. Sure, there were the blackouts where I couldn’t remember what I had done the night before, and the arguments with my girlfriend about my drinking. My grades suffered in college, which I guess had a lot to do with my partying and drinking, but I was able to miss class and make it up on the tests thanks to Adderall. But I got into a lot of fights and I got into some legal stuff and a DUI, which definitely wasn’t fun at all. But the feeling I get looking back at using drugs and alcohol at that time wasn’t all bad, although a lot of bad stuff actually happened if I’m honest about it. I guess I’m just feeling a lot of emotions now and don’t have my old friends drugs and alcohol to help me numb them or run away from them.
My weekend friend with with the fellas. I’m the one that dragged you along into my adult days. You’re a loyal dude, so you had no problem with that. I have no idea how I’m ever goodbye alcohol letter gonna eat crawfish again. The beach may have lost its luster too. I went without you this year, and it sucked, especially since you were cheating on me with everyone else.
What is a Dear John Letter to Alcohol?
I am stronger now than I ever was with you and you are a dangerous one to be around. You give false confidence and make-believe happiness. This is my personal goodbye letter to you, goodbye addiction – take notice and listen. A goodbye letter to alcohol in it’s basic form is simply another tool that you can utilise on your path to sobriety.
Actually, I take that back – you did give. You gave me heartaches and burned bridges. You gave me sorrow and torn-apart relationships.
Think of it as a therapy tool
Writing therapy is extremely personal and often allows the writer to be able to express themselves in ways that they may not do in other therapies. I operate from a clear conscious and a full heart nowadays since I left you behind. It’s nice knowing you no longer have a say in my thoughts, my actions or my life, for that matter, and that I’m driving this bus now.
- Some took longer than others but they all help each other because they’ve been where I am today.
- But, if you are in therapy for alcoholism, it’s a useful tool to share with your counselor or group.
- I mean, damn, I can barely remember all those late night documentaries we watched on Netflix.
- When I threw out my back, you comforted me for weeks and eased the pain.
- When I wanted to change for the better, you told me I couldn’t live without you.
- If I had stayed with you, I would have taken my life; I needed to leave you to survive.
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. You were hanging around with my friends and me, and we just seemed to work well together. Alcohol,We have been together for such a long time.
