My story is long and probably similar to a lot of others, but i just thought i would share a good-bye letter to perks because when i wrote it in rehab, an astonishing amount of fellow addicts wanted a copy to take home with them. Im sure it will resonate with some of you…
Dear Percocet,
I had never understood why so many people fall in love with you. I never understood the unconditional attraction people have towards you. I couldn’t understand how you could make people feel THAT good, until I was introduced to you by my best friend… a Sign for you. You took away my physical and emotional pain. You made me feel better than I ever had, like I was on top of the world. We’ve spent so much time together, and I loved you so much I became blind. After a while, you became ALL i wanted and craved. You became so controlling. I started cheating on my forever with you. I lied to her and deceived her for you. You made me lie to my family. You took money away from me AND my loved ones because i loved you so much. You caused me to become comfortably numb to everything. I couldn’t live without you. You snatched my soul from me, and i became sick without you around. You were all i thought about, from the time i woke up to your warm kiss goodnight. I became okay with that….but i am writing you to say goodbye. NEVER did i think you would take so much from me, NEVER did i think would do the things i did just to be with you. You explicit me over time and time again but i was so blindly in love with you i couldn’t see it. You were there for me in the beginning, but you taught me to abuse you and in return, started abusing me. You took advantage of my weakness and push my family and friends away from me. Now I realize how toxic you really are. I am learning your true colors, and I have come to HATE you. I HATE you with all my heart. I will never see, touch, or feel you again. You have taken everything from me. I am better than you and better off without you. I will never again allow you to be a part of my life. You are no good for me, you are no good for ANYONE, with that being said… WE’RE THROUGH! Goodbye perkies.
Without love, Kaleb
