Dear Alcohol,
You have been part of my life since I was about 14 years old. I am now 43. I regret getting introduced to you at such a tender age. But, what is the point of regret?
We have had a good dalliance along the way. Exciting times. Crazy times. Fun times. Very risky times. As I got older, our relationship mellowed quite a lot. But, you were always my constant companion. Every now and again we had a bit of a wild time, just to make sure we still had it.
But, I’ve noticed the wear and tear that our relationship has brought on me. It is not as healthy as I would like. I was becoming more dependent on you. And, I felt that you were becoming more clingy. I sometimes wanted my space, but you didn’t want to leave me alone. That was becoming suffocating and disconcerting. I felt obligated to you. I didn’t want to leave you out. But, the older I get, I find I need more clarity in my life.
Our relationship was starting to get me down. It was taking up too much of my head space. And also, the effects of regular drinking were really not conducive to life with young children. I need to gather all the energy that I can. I realised that you were not going to help me achieve that.
And so, I say goodbye to you. That makes me feel sad. Because, I can remember your sparkles and twinkles and fun. But, there comes a time when one knows a choice needs to be made.
I choose to follow my intuition (finally). After having a trial separation from you recently, I feel lighter and clear-headed and I am more certain that this is the way forward.
Please allow me to be free of you.
Goodbye to you, alcohol.
Love,
Tess

I very like this blog. Everything is cleared.
I got this site from my buddy who informed me regarding this site and now this time
I am browsing this site and reading very informative posts at this time.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Cheers!
I believe everything published was actually very reasonable.
But, what about this? suppose you were to write a killer headline?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added
a title to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean Tess’ Letter – goodbyetoletters is a little plain.
You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to open the links.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what
you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your
posts a little livelier.
My spouse and I stumbled over here different web address and thought
I may as well check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you.
Look forward to exploring your web page yet again.
Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Thank you so much, However I am going through problems with
your RSS. I don’t understand why I can’t subscribe to it.
Is there anybody else getting the same RSS issues?
Anyone that knows the solution will you kindly respond?
Thanx!!
I just like the valuable information you provide in your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and test again here frequently. I am relatively sure I

Letter – goodbyetoletters < Loved it!
Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives
for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point
me in the direction of a good platform.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me
to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?

amusement account it. Look advanced to far added

You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

of the story. It’s surprising you are not more popular
