drinking addiction alcohol
The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope.
simple addiction support
What was so painful about Amy’s death is that I know that there is something I could have done. I could have passed on to her the solution that was freely given to me. Don’t pick up a drink or drug, one day at a time. It sounds so simple; it actually is simple but it isn’t easy; it requires incredible support and fastidious structuring.
jail addiction rehab
Addiction is a serious desease; it will end with jail, mental institutions, or death.
pain addiction priorities
The priority of any addict is to anaesthetise the pain of living to ease the passage of day with some purchased relief.
buddhist imagine
Imagine the wisdom to be passed down from the classical Buddhist texts.
new-beginnings journey reality
Every moment is a fresh new beginning... a wonderful inauguration of the great cosmic journey through the Universe. We can do whatever we want. We can change reality at any moment.
school tv-shows office
I've always been a 'your parents have got to come up to the school' type of person. Even now, when I do something wrong - if I say something inappropriate on a live tv show, for example - I half expect to have to deliver a note to Barbara Brand: 'Please come up to Channel 4 head office, Russell's done something despicable.
sexy recovery vegetarianism
Even as a junkie I stayed true [to vegetarianism] - 'I shall have heroin, but I shan't have a hamburger.' What a sexy little paradox.
views sick people
All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care.
differences acting littles
There was [really] little difference between someone acting throwing french fries in your face and someone throwing french fries in your face.
cat vegetarian consciousness
There's an interconnectivity between what's in the consciousness of cat and what's in the consciousness of us.
want looks life-is
Life’s never a postcard of life, is it? It never feels like how you’d want it to look.
believe house littles
I'm a vegetarian. I believe that we're all equal. I ain't got no right to kill. Say a fly comes in my house, I tolerate that little a**hole.
falling-in-love eye tree
For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love; or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world.
