I owe you an explanation. I was dealing with an addiction when we started talking last year, and it was entering a very scary stage. I wasn't ready to address it. But I knew that I was sick. I didn't want you to see how sick I was.
It's been six months since I last used. I finally feel like it's behind me.
The isolation of the pandemic helped me to keep this all a secret from people. But with you, I wasn't hiding it so well. I feel ashamed that I let you down and caused you to wonder what happened. I'm so sorry.
