That boyfriend I had? He was abusive and treated me terribly. Isn’t that great?Īfter a year of thinking I was over you, I’m still struggling. Plus, my new boyfriend tells me how special I am and that only I understand him. I even help others who have just realized your subtle ways to hurt them.

Attending my groups is my favorite thing to do because I have overcome you for a long while now. I am just writing to tell you that I’m over you! I don’t use drugs and alcohol anymore and my eating is healthy. Addiction, you really get around, don’t you? Pretending to be my friend and lover. So I have two groups helping me overcome the control you had over me. My weight is down to almost normal again and my healthy eating group is really supportive. The only difference is now you have turned from drugs into food. So here I am thinking about you all the time again. The counselor there tells me that you are very sneaky and part of an underlying problem that I have to discover about myself. I have joined Overeaters Anonymous and a healthy eating group.

None of my clothes fit and I feel trapped by my refrigerator. You found a way to sneak back into my life and control me through food. You tricked me again! I cannot stop eating and now my health is at risk from it. When I do that, I feel like you are gone.

I especially like to eat before going to sleep at night. Ice cream, fast food, it doesn’t matter what it is. Sometimes when I am reminded of you, I start to eat and you leave my thoughts. That’s fine with me as long as I don’t think about you like I used to. Almost all of the weight I lost when I was with you, and a few pounds more. But at least I’m eating now and my teeth are healing. I cry a lot from the regret of our relationship. While most of my friends went to college, have good jobs and stable relationships, I am still overcoming the hurdles that you have caused me. I have a job now and am living with a roommate. Getting out of rehab and attending meetings help keep you away. All of them want to get over you too and together we are doing much better so please just go away. I found out you get around quite a bit and have way too many people in your life. I want to break up with you I’m going to rehab.Įven though we have been apart for a while at this point, I still think about you every day.

This bond that we have is no longer fun for me. I can’t work when I’m with you, yet I can’t function without you. My family is upset with our relationship and no matter how hard I have tried to convince them that we are a great couple, they just don’t like you.
A GOODBYE LETTER TO MY ADDICTION SKIN
I am too skinny, my hair is falling out and my skin looks awful. In the case of our relationship, more is better. Whether you feed my need for you through alcohol or drugs is irrelevant, though I do prefer both. I think about you constantly and maybe even a bit obsessed. But that isn’t important because nothing matters but us. These new drugs-cocaine and methamphetamine-keep me feeling up, and when I’m there I don’t have a care in the world. You want more attention from me and I also need more of you to feel the way I did when we first met. I have noticed you have become a bit demanding lately. Yes, they will still be there tomorrow, but I don’t want to think about them right now. Even though I don’t feel very good the morning after we are together, I look forward to meeting you again and let you wash over me and take my responsibilities away.
