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.

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness

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

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
