Charles Kelley Shares Emotional Track as His “Goodbye to Alcohol”
When I read this letter, I do feel that I am putting a lot of blame on you..and to an extend this is true. But, I take responsibility for choosing to hang around with you. I was foolish to think that our relationship would continue and continue well. I tried to leave you, but you just came back even stronger and harder than before. You physically and mentally made me sick, and yet I still kept you around. People thought I loved you more, but that was far from the truth.
I am now determined to live out the rest of my life without you. I wish to live whatever life brings, with renewed hope, happiness, balance, excitement, and intrigue. I wish to accomplish the things I should have done half a life ago. I know the future can and will be exciting, but also a challenge, a challenge I will embrace and will face head-on. I have hope in my heart, and hope is a wonderful thing. And let’s not forget, I could see you were trouble.

- By showing me who I don’t want to be, you showed me who I do want to be.
- You saw me have our firstborn child, then my second born…and continued to be with me all the time.
- It’s nice knowing you no longer have a say in my thoughts, my actions or my life, for that matter, and that I’m driving this bus now.
- This brings me to all those bad times.
I learned I am no longer prepared to tolerate. By showing me who I don’t want to be, you showed me who I do want to be. If there is one thing I have learned in the years since we broke up it is that regret is pointless and harmful. One that showed me a new way I could live.
