A man stands in a dimly lit room, pacing with a mix of agitation and despair. His voice cracks with the weight of his words, his movements restless as if trying to escape his own thoughts.
I used to think I could quit whenever I wanted, that I had it all under control. But now, it’s like I’m chasing shadows—every time I reach out, it slips through my fingers. The need—it’s there, gnawing at me, stronger than any promise I’ve ever made. I’ve lost everything trying to fight this. My friends, my family—they’ve all given up on me. Maybe they’re right. Maybe I’m just too far gone. But God, I wish I could stop… just for a day, just to remember who I used to be.
