Perfect for moving forward to recovery, this addiction goodbye letter personifies alcohol, drugs, gambling, and other addictions.
The last {number} years of my life have been one long love letter to you. Now it's time for a breakup and a firm goodbye.
I don't know why I stood up for you when my family and my friends were worried about me. I don't know why I chose you over them. Everything you made me believe turned out to be a lie. I wasn't more in control of my life. I wasn't happier with myself. I wasn't doing anything worthwhile in the world. You lied to me, and I believed you. Well, no more.
I'm finally in a place where I can see clearly and there's no place for you here. I have support now, and acceptance. I act on the side of love, not fear. I'm done listening to you, I'm done hurting myself, and I'm done hurting others.
Goodbye.
