Letter to myself:

Matt,
You have been bringing yourself down for a very long time. You’ve watched multiple relationships decline because of your addiction and what it does to you. You lose focus on doing the things you need to do to be a better person and to create a better life for you and your future family. You have missed many great opportunities to give in to your selfish desires. Every day that you do not take care of your issues is another day that you lose to be better and do greater things. Think about that every time. You can be something bigger. You won’t find a great woman to be with or start a family the longer you keep this around.

Letter from my sex addict:

Matt,
It’s so hard… I’ve gone so far down the path with my addictions that it really seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no hope for me, no way I can live life without them. Life doesn’t seem happy without them. I have been doing these for years, they’re all I know. Everything I do with it is what they want me to believe, that life will be happy, that fantasy is reality. I try, but cannot give up no matter how hard I want to.
