1. I know what you want and it’s nothing that I have any interest in.
2. You have to realize that times will be tough whether you are clean or not.
3. It means releasing oneself from something that has held you captive for what feels like a million years.

After only an hour or two, I would feel you calling me, tugging at me, telling me I had to go home and be with you or I would suffer consequences. It wasn’t long until you moved in for good, you made yourself as comfortable as you could get, never letting me leave your sight. Everywhere I went, you trailed behind me. I thought that I could handle you, but it turns out I couldn’t. It wasn’t long until you had me wrapped around your finger, doing everything for you. Going out and spending all of my money and time on alcohol, just so we could have fun.

You could never solve problems; you just sucked the joy out of my life with your lying and manipulation.
