13.Dear Alcohol,You've been around forever.I can remember all the pain you've caused me.
Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party?My friends were intrigued by you.They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you."I'm so embarrassed,"they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up."I'm sorry,"they said when I called taxis for them,walking them out and paying the driver in advance."This won't happen again,"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson?Do you know how we all felt when he hit another
car head-on and killed two people in the other car?He died the next morning,too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn't realize her brother was among them at all.She never saw him again.And it was all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable.Stop attracting the people I love!Stop hurting me,please!
Sincerely,
Me
