Richard Lewis
The more help you get, the better. And the more
time you spend being sober, the better. If a
person has a problem and admits it, even for just
a day, it's not wasted. It's never wasted. When
you stop waking up in the morning with the same
clothes on, feeling hung over, nauseated or sick,
your life is better.
8

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness
looking for peace. They chase idle dreams,
addictions, religions, even other people, hoping
to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The
irony is the only place they ever needed to
search was within. --Ramona L. Anderson

I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is
waiting for some bline, random disaster, or some
sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of
knowing what will most likely wait for him down
the road. He's taken some control over his
ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause
of death from being a total surprise.  --Chuck
Palahniuk

Undermine their pompous authority, reject their

possible but dont let them take you ALIVE.

Colin Farrell

    me to write down how much I did in a week 20
    E's, 4 grams of coke, six of speed, half an ounce
    of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniel's, 12
    bottles of red wine, 60 pints."

53
Marilyn Monroe

The idea that addiction is somehow a
psychological illness is, I think, totally
ridiculous. It's as psychological as malaria.
It's a matter of exposure. People, generally
speaking, will take any intoxicant or any drug
that gives them a pleasant effect if it is
available to them. --William S. Burroughs
