My letter to alcohol.

Dear Alcohol.

So, now is the time we say goodbye. To think I considered you as a friend.... I thought you helped me when I was stressed, I thought you helped me when I lacked confidence and had low self esteem. I thought that you helped me to have fun.

You have been in my life for as long as I can remember. To think as a child Id play with my mums empty vodka bottles and fill it water pretending to drink.... I was NINE. I'd wake up early of a morning and play "pubs" collecting the empties my parents had left from the night before. No true friend would ever allow a child to have alcohol as a fantasy and role play.

You made me feel that it was acceptable in my teens that the whole purpose of drinking was simply to get pissed.

For years, from a child you tempted me and made me believe that my realtionship with alcohol was acceptable and normal.

You took away my personal power and I allowed you to.

Now, nearly reaching 40 you have started to take my health. NOW it is time for me to kick your butt. I am angry with you and I despise you. You were NEVER my friend. I have sussed you out. I have caught you out just in time before you lead me to my grave.

So, alcohol. You my "friend" ARE SO GONE. You no longer serve ANY purpose in my life. I am done with you. You cannot win, I will win.

Now **** off and dont ever come back.

You know writing that has made me realise none of this is my fault. Dont get me wrong neither of my parents were alcoholics but drinking is the norm in my family all of us are drinkers and big ones at that its just I got hit with the alkie stick, like my uncle.
