WARNING…
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR DISEASE

Dear Addict, I hate meetings, I hate Higher Powers, and I hate anyone who has a program. To all of you who come in contact with me, I wish you death and I wish you suffering. Allow me to introduce myself...I am the disease of Addiction.

I am cunning, baffling and ever so powerful. That is me. I have killed millions and I am pleased. I love to catch you with the element of surprise. I love pretending I am your friend and lover.

I have given you comfort, haven’t I? Wasn’t I there when you were lonely? When you wanted to die, didn’t you call on me? I was there; I love to make you hurt. Better yet, I love to make you numb, you can neither hurt nor cry. When you can’t feel anything at all, this is true gratification. And all that I ask from you is your long-term suffering. I’ve been there for you always. When things were going right in your life, you invited me. You said you didn’t deserve these good things, and I was the only one who would agree with you.

Together we were able to destroy all the good things in your life. People don’t take me seriously. They take heart attacks seriously, strokes, even diabetes they take seriously, but not me. Such fools!!! Without my help, these things would not be possible. I am such a hated disease, yet I do not come uninvited.

So many have chosen me over reality and peace. More than you hate me, I hate all of you who have a twelve step program. Your program, your meetings, your Higher Power. All of these things weaken me and I cannot function in the manner I am accustomed to. Now, I must lie here quietly. You don’t see me, but I am growing bigger than ever! When you only exist, I may live. When you live, I may only exist. But, I am here and, until we meet again, I wish you death and suffering.

Just wanted to keep in touch,
Your Disease
