Good evening all. Here is a little something i wrote. It's about my addiction i hope it finds someone. Or they can relate.

Dear Addiction,

I am writing to you today not as your victim, but as your former captive. For too long, you have whispered lies into my ear, promising relief while stealing my strength, my peace, and my dignity. I believed you. I carried you like a shadow, and I let you dictate the rhythm of my days.

But I see you clearly now. You are not my friend, not my comfort, not my escape. You are a thief. You have taken enough from me—my time, my health, my relationships, my joy. And I refuse to give you another moment.

I surrender—not to you, but from you. I surrender the illusion that you control me. I surrender the false comfort you offered. I surrender the shame you tried to bury me in. I am reclaiming my life, my choices, my future.

From this day forward, you no longer have a place in my story. I choose freedom. I choose healing. I choose to walk away from your chains and toward the light of my own strength.

Goodbye, Addiction. You will not follow me anymore.

Sincerely,
J.L.Neilson

Keep fighting the good fight! Inspiring post!

Very well written keep up the good work when I go to my groups I share very deep feelings also because you do reach out to people that are probably suffering in silence. Just one sentence or one phrase could make all the difference in their lives God bless you for your servitude.

I felt a lot of what you said in my own story. I’m glad you’re standing up for yourself today. Keep going
