My addiction that I gor rid of was energy drinks with caffeine.
Direction: This 1 – 2 page paper is a
reflection on the experience of abstaining from your substance or
activity. The paper should identify what
you abstained from, any challenging moments you experienced, as well as
alternatives used to fulfill the void from abstaining from your
substance/activity of choice.
The second portion of the paper should be a goodbye
letter that is to be written to the substance or behavior from which you are
abstaining. This is to be written in the first person (e.g., “caffeine, you
have always been there for me in the morning…”) and should cover the following
5 areas:
1) How my addictive substance/behavior is loved and is considered
a “friend”
2) How my addictive substance/behavior is sensual (appeals to my
senses)
3) How my addictive substance/behavior provides “healing” or is a
“balm” to my emotional wounds
4) How my addictive substance/behavior controls and promotes my
feelings of helplessness and entrapment
5) How my addictive substance/behavior is
hated – what it has “cost” me
