I'm on day 15 today and I've been doing some thinking. I was sober for over 12_months and then due to a very stressful period in my life I bought myself a bottle of wine one night, then another the next night, then another etc. I was hiding the wine at home and drinking it after my husband went to bed. Very sneaky and underhand, just like having an affair behind my husband's back. Then I had a lightbulb moment, I have been having an affair behind his back, an affair with a bottle. So here's my letter ending the relationship.

Maybe you could post yours. X

Dear Sauvignon Blanc,
I'm not going to beat round the bush here, I'm giving it to you straight. I am ending our relationship, I'm done, I don't want you and your false promises anymore.
I told myself the last time we finished that I didn't want anything more to do with you and I didn't succumb to your beckoning for over 12 months.
You knew that I was going through a very emotionally traumatic time recently, my heart was broken and you knew that I was at an all time low and you came whispering those false promises in my ear, whispering relentlessly about how you could make me feel better, give me confidence, take away my worries and fears, show me how to have a bit of fun, a good time. No one would know you said, it would be our secret.
I was weak and I listened to you, I mistakenly let you back into my life again. How wrong I was, how false your promises were.
You didn't make me feel better, you made me feel ill, you made me feel ashamed and the anxiety you brought me from lying and sneaking around became unbearable.
You didn't give me confidence, you gave me just the opposite, I isolated myself, hid myself away, neglected myself. I avoided answering the phone in case anyone guessed my guilty secret.
My worries and fears escalated, my affair with you made them 10 times worse.
My husband discovered our affair, he found you hiding in our home. He didn't deserve that. He is a good man but there are only so many times he can forgive. I've done a lot of soul searching and I know that he is a million times better for me than you could ever be.
I have no place in my life for you now. I know that you will never bring me happiness or joy, only heartache and pain and I've had my quota and someone elses share of that.
That's all I have to say, so please don't bother trying to peck my head, keep out of my life. I don't want you and I certainly don't need you.

Goodbye for ever.

Aww thank you all for reading and for your kind comments. Last night I was really embarrassed about what I'd written and actually tried to get back in and delete the post, but couldn't.

You are all so kind. xx

Daisy - nothing to be embarrassed about - this is great. So many of us, myself included, can relate.

You still keeping that bottle away?

Absolutely fantastic letter! It has inspired me to write my own break up letter in my daily journal. Very glad you couldn't find the delete button!!
