Today’s quotes follow in line for the ongoing realizations I continue to make in my 12 Step recovery from my former life of toxic addictions…
When you become a slave to someone or something and are unable to stop without help, when that someone or something takes the brain hostage and the addict has lost the power of choice, it has become a disease.” (Unknown)
“Knowing what I lost and knowing where it led me gives me strength from addiction. Knowing what I have today…my thoughts of getting high vanish. (Tangie B.)
“The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but human connection.” (Johann Hari)
“Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru.” (Joko Beck)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
