Dear Alcohol,
You've been around forever. I can remember
all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night 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 spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the
only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high
school party? You were there. 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
completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back
so that they could vomit (呕吐). "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies 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 thanks
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 lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and
killed the 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 in the midst of it all. She never saw him
again. And it's 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 inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting
me, please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
