How to Write a Goodbye Letter to Addiction Banyan Heartland

It is understandable that the writer may be emotionally charged. It is more important to make sure that you get out everything that you want to say. Writing a goodbye letter to alcohol is quite an amazing tool really. Once you start writing, you will realise that you have the ability to speak the truth about your feelings about alcohol. It helps you to open up, reflect on your life with alcohol and guides you to reasons as to what it has done for you.

• When I first met you at the ripe age of 15, I had no idea what an impact you would make on my life – and not the good kind, unfortunately.
• You’re very selfish and only concerned with your own well-being.

Did you notice towards the end, how much we cried together. All those sad midnights looking in the mirror. We had become such closet companions towards the end.

• This will be the last time that I am in contact with you, I know you will crop up in my life and in lives of people that I care about.
• I’m just sorry I abused our relationship.
• For me, it made me realise my feelings towards alcohol and what it has taken away from me.
• It’s a disgusting feeling knowing I did those things and not being able to remember.
• I’m as much to blame as you, and I’ve finally decided that we can’t go on like this any longer.

Because of this mastery, I’m now able to help others break loose from your chains too. I will no longer allow you to rob me of who I truly am or create unnecessary chaos in my life. I know I’m better off not associating with you whatsoever going forward and I’m thankful I finally gained the courage to stand up to you and say NO. For me, it was such a love-hate bond we had under the false pretense that I “needed” you to have fun, be social or to handle my emotions and stress.
