a. Drugs/Alcohol
---------------------------
"To alcohol: The cause, and cure, of all of life's problems." - Homer Simpson
"I was into pain reduction and mind expansion, but what I've ended up with is pain expansion and mind reduction. Everything hurts now, and nothing makes sense. "- Carrie Fisher, Postcards from the Edge
"HALT - Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Never put yourself in a situation where you could be tempted if you're hungry, angry, lonely, or tired." - Unknown
"Anything that takes over your free will is the devil iteself." - Katt Williams
"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." – Alice Walker
"1980's Mexican Brickpack with its 5% THC is nothing at all what todays 30%+ THC Buds. Probably the only thing in the last 30 years in America that actually improved over time." - Unknown
"No way would I poison my body with that sh*te, all the f*cking chemicals, no f*cking way." - Francis Begbie, Trainspotting
"This is all BS from the pro smoking crowd but I am not here to convince anybody to smoke or not smoke, its your body, do as you please but after smoking weed for 40 years heavy, my experience after my 3rd month quitting has been downright scary and have suffered a multitude of withdrawal and health problems with no end in sight . Every organ in your body goes astray when you quit feeding it thc, and the supposed 2-3 weeks of withdrawal symtoms that everybody talks about is a lie. I probably damaged my body permanently and now I have to live with it. Its absolutely Hell on Earth. I live in illinois and been smoking the dispensary weed the last two years until quitting for good and something is off about it. Then I read news of California weed growers that supply weed to dispensaries around the USA getting shut down because they found DDT in the weed and it serves my hunch correct. Its not safe and who know the shortcuts they take and the chemicals they use to grow the weed faster. I just dont trust people and businesses anymore, all they care about is profits, its the same with food at the grocery stores, alot of the chemicals they use in food is banned in other countrys so what does that tell you. Its your choice, but odds are you will pay a heavy price like me in trusting other people and businesses that you think you can trust. My advice is to stop ASAP and quit thinking you will not suffer in the end... Thats my opinion, Take it or leave it... Good day." - Unknown
b. Recovery
---------------------------
"Addiction is when you give up everything for something. Recovery is when you give up something to have everything." - Unknown
"Addiction begins with the hope that something 'out there' can instantly fill up the emptiness inside." – Jean Kilbourne
"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." – Carl Bard
"It is 10 years since I used drugs or alcohol and my life has improved immeasurably. I have a job, a house, a cat, good friendships and, generally, a bright outlook… The price of this is constant vigilance because the disease of addiction is not rational." – Russell Brand
"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lessons afterwards." - Vernon Law
"Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit." – Bernard Williams
"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny."– C.S. Lewis
