This Is It (Not MJ, thanks Gravy :)
This is it. This is your last chance. There’s nothing left to lose. This is all you have. Don’t let it win. You are stronger than this. You have more life to live. The world is not dull and grey. There’s more to life than this.
You can do this.
I think addiction is so sad. I’ve been watching season 3 of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, and it’s just so sad. People with addiction have no self worth. They bury all of their hurts in drugs and alcohol, or whatever makes the illusion of happy. Most people who become addicts have suffered significant trauma in their lives, and they stuff that down inside themselves and cover it with their addiction.
I wish everyone had the strength to stop. I wish that they could see the good inside of themselves to know that they are worth it and they don’t need those things.
What if this is your last chance?
EDIT
I was just watching this, and Mike Starr, the original guitarist from Alice In Chains carried around so much guilt from his best friend, the singer, dying from a drug overdose. They got into an argument about some pills that Mike had taken, and Mike left. The last words his best friend ever said to him were “don’t leave like this.” Then his friend died. And Mike never told anyone about his best friend’s last words to him. He felt so guilty because he knew that his friend wasn’t okay, and he should have called 911, but he didn’t. Could you imagine that guilt? He drowned it out by doing drugs for so many years.

When I saw “this is it”, I thought it was going to be about Michael Jackson. I’d bet a lot of people couldn’t get over their addiction, even if they knew their life depended on it.
That’s the sad thing. So many people look down upon people who do drugs, but they don’t realize that it usually goes a lot deeper than just “they like to party”. It’s so sad.
Some people just have addictive personalities *ahem* (definitely not me ssshhhhh -_- ) and they can’t help getting addicted to certain things. Perhaps it is my past trauma that has given me this attribute but I’m not sure it much matters. I’m obsessive in general anyway. I’m lucky, I didn’t have parents that let me get into bad things… otherwise I doubt I’d have lived this long. I can almost feel the alternate realities parallel to this world in which I ended up broken. Have you watched Breaking Bad? It’s a good show, fiction or no.
