Gender: Male

A man stands alone in a dimly lit room, his posture slumped, eyes hollow. His voice is filled with pain and a touch of bitterness as he confronts his demons. His hands fidget restlessly, as if searching for something to hold onto.

It’s funny how you never think you’re the kind of guy who needs saving until you’re already drowning. I used to be someone—someone people looked up to, trusted. But now? Now I’m just a ghost, haunted by the need for one more hit, one more drink, one more anything to keep me from facing the truth. Every day, I wake up telling myself, ‘This is the last time, I swear.’ But that voice, the one that says I can stop whenever I want? It’s a liar. And I listen to it every damn time. You think you can handle it, that you’re in control. But addiction—it’s a slow poison, eating away at everything good until all that’s left is the desperate need to fill that empty hole. I’ve lost friends, family… myself. And the worst part? I still can’t stop. I’ve tried, God knows I’ve tried, but the pull is stronger than any promise I make. How did it get this bad? How did I let it take everything from me? Maybe I’m beyond saving. Or maybe… maybe I’ve just forgotten how to ask for help.
