This is a letter written by Heroin himself. How he will rob you of all that is precious. It tells the real story of addiction and destruction.
Dear Friend,
I have come to visit once again. I love to see you suffer mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. I want to make you restless so you can never relax. I want you jumpy and nervous and anxious. I want to make you agitated and irritable so everything and everybody makes you uncomfortable. I want you to be confused and depressed so that you cannot think clearly or positively. I want to make you hate everything and everybody... especially yourself. I want you to feel guilty and remorseful for all the things you've done in the past that you will never let go of. I want to make you angry and hateful toward the world for the way it is and the way you are. I want you to feel sorry for yourself and blame everything but addiction for the way things are. I want you to be deceitful and untrustworthy, and to manipulate and con as many people as possible. I want to make you fearful and paranoid for no reason at all. I want you to be up all hours of the night SCREAMING FOR ME! You know you can't sleep without ME! I am even in your dreams.
I want to be the first thing that you wake up to every morning and the last thing you touch before you black out. I would rather KILL YOU, but I will be happy enough to put you back in the hospital or another institution, or JAIL! But you know I will still be waiting for you when you get out. I love to watch you go slowly insane. I love to see all the physical damage that I am causing you. I cannot help but sneer and chuckle when you shiver and shake, when you freeze and sweat at the same time and when you wake up with your sheets and blankets soaking wet!
It's amazing how much destruction I can be to your human organs while at the same time work on your brain, destroying it bit by bit. I deeply appreciate how much you sacrifice for me. The countless good jobs you have sacrificed for me. All the fine friends that you deeply cared for... you gave up for me. And what is more, the ones you turned against yourself because of your inexcusable actions - I am even more grateful.
Especially your loved ones - your family, the most important people in the world to you - you even threw away for me. I cannot express in words the gratitude I have for the loyalty you have for me. You sacrificed all those beautiful things in life just to devote yourself completely to me. But... do not despair, my friend, for on me you can always depend. For after you have lost all these things, you can still depend on me to take even more. You can depend on me to keep you in a living hell, to keep your mind, body and soul - for I will not be satisfied until you are DEAD, my friend.
Faithfully yours,
Your Addiction
