Addiction...

I felt it was time to post this again for some of the new members.  Hope it helps those that are struggling with loved ones' addictions.

Addiction...
Editor's Note:  This piece was an anonymous submission but considering it's hard - hitting content we chose to publish it, certainly worth reading and perhaps these words will help you or someone you love.
The Editor,
I've come to visit once again, I love to see you suffer mentally, physically, spiritually and socially.  I want to make you restless so you can never relax.  I want you jumpy and nervous and anxious.  I want to make you agitated and irritable so everything and everybody makes you uncomfortable.  I want you confused and depressed so that you can't think clearly and positively.  I want to make you hate everything and everybody, especially yourself.  I want to make you angry and hateful toward the world for the way it is and the way you are.  I want you to feel sorry for yourself and blame everything but ME for the way things are.  I want you to be deceitful and untrustworthy, and to manipulate and con as many people as possible.  I want to wake you fearful and paranoid for no reason at all.  I want you to wake during all hours of the night screaming for me.  You know you can't sleep without me.  I'm even in your dreams.
I want to be the first thing you think about every morning and the last thing you think about before you black out.  I would rather kill you, but I'll be happy enough to put you back in the hospital, another institution, or jail.  But you know I'll be waiting for you when you get out.  I love to watch you slowly going insane.  I love to see all the physical damage that I'm causing you.  I can't help but sneer and chuckle when you shiver and shake, when you freeze and sweat at the same time, and when you wake up with sheets and blankets soaking wet.
It's amusing to watch you ignore yourself, not eating, not sleeping, even your personal hygiene.  Yes, it's amazing how much destruction I can be to your internal organs while at the same time, work on  your brain destroying it bit by bit.  I deeply appreciate how much you sacrifice for me.
The countless jobs you've sacrificed for me.  All the friends that you cared deeply for, you gave up for me.  And what's more, the ones you turned against yourself because of your inexcusable actions - I'm even more grateful!
And especially, your loved ones, your family, the most important people in the world to you.  You even threw them away for me.  I cannot express in words the gratitude I have for the loyalty you have for me.  You sacrificed all these beautiful things in life just to devote yourself completely to me.  But do not despair, my friend, for on me you can always depend.  For after you lost all these things, you can still depend on me to make even more.  You can depend on me to keep you in a living hell, to keep your mind, body and soul.  For I will be not satisfied until  you are dead.
Forever Yours,
Your Addiction
