Divorce Letter . Content Warning.
Hi. My name is Tanya and I am an addict. I spent nearly a decade in active addiction using any drug I could get my hands on. Heroin was my favorite. I allowed it to control me completely. My thoughts, my actions, my emotions. It took everything from me. My money, my health, my looks, my freedom. Then it started taking my loved ones and I knew I had to make a change. I had to live, for them. I have been in recovery for two years. Getting clean is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Staying clean is no cake walk either. I wrote this letter early in my recovery for myself, as a reminder of where I’d been and what I’ve overcome. Over time I've looked back at it often to keep fresh that feeling of stability that writing it gave me. Now, I've decided to publish it in hopes that these words might help someone find that same strength and to know that they are not alone. Whether you are currently in active addiction, love someone who is, or are fighting to stay in recovery, please know that you are not alone. I pray that you find your way. Please know that recovery is possible and you are worth it. If I can do it, anyone can. May these words be a flicker of light in your darkness and may you never remain there. With Love, Tanya

Stay Strong
July 2021 – Winwoods, Georgia She sat alone in the damp darkness that now surrounded her, not wishing for freedom, as one might have guessed, but nearly welcoming the chains and shackles that now confined her. The cold steel against her wrists and ankles kept her in the moment. The pain they caused a constant reminder that this was no nightmare. She nearly laughed aloud at the thought. This of all things a nightmare? She had been through much worse than this. Things that would have the world's best horror writers cringe and their biggest fans begging for an intermission.
