I’m a recovering addict, and the last day I got high was August 21, 1990. Every year I call to mind the dirty, gritty, and hopeless reality of my last using day so that I am regularly in touch with the pain that led me into recovery. Use this binding spell to bring things to an end. You need a pen, paper, and a string.

Sit quietly. What do you want to end? Write it on the paper. Say:

I call your name, I know your

game. I no longer want to play.

Fold the paper and say:

Out of sight, you cannot fight.

Away you now will stay.

Tie the string around the paper, wrapping it around and around, and say:

Around and around, you now are

 bound, and you will stay that way.

Tie the ends of the string in a knot and say:

A knot of one and now you’re done.

You shall forever stay away.
