How to Write a Goodbye Letter to Alcohol?

To create your own Goodbye Letter to Alcohol, you can follow these tips:

  1. Date.
  2. The name of the alcohol or drink you are saying goodbye to.
  3. Opening salutations.
  4. This letter can be written in a number of ways. You can choose to talk about how long you have been using alcohol, memories attached to alcohol, or even humorous stories connected to alcohol. Since alcohol can often be deeply connected to a person's life there will be both positive and negative events connected to it and you will want to consider which ones you would like to add (if any) to your letter.
  5. At some point in your letter, you will want to include a strong stance that you are writing this letter to say goodbye to alcohol permanently. No matter the length of your letter, this is the most important statement of the letter and you want to make it clear what your intentions are with alcohol and that it will have no part in your future life. If it helps, you could include future plans that will not involve alcohol as a way to encourage yourself to continue pursuing a sober life.
  6. For example, you could write, "to my future self, I look forward to crossing the finish line as I finish my first marathon in one's year's time, sober and proud of what I have accomplished."
  7. Wrap the letter by restating your commitment to sobriety and any closing thoughts that will help give you closure with alcohol or additional words of encouragement to yourself.
  8. Closing salutations.
  9. Your name and signature.
