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 . "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

Almost five years ago, I announced to my loved ones I was to become a Mrs. Naturally. I then began

to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone

through my share of dieting.

I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my

healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results

without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily

target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck

to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and

vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept

each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress. I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening

walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers

cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is

more food than the serving size.

It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for

strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.
