REFLECTIONS ON A 25 YEAR DRUG CAREER

YOU MAY STOP ONE DRUG ONLY TO FIND YOURSELF ADDICTED TO SOMETHING ELSE. TO GAMBLING. TO WORKING. TO SEX. TO RELIGION. TO ALL THE ABOVE. ADDICTION IS THE MISTAKEN BELIEF THAT WE CAN SOLVE OUR LONGINGS FOR A BETTER LIFE, FOR A HAPPIER LIFE, THAT WE CAN "FIX" OURSELVES, WITH SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE RATHER THAN WITH "BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS." SUCH A BELIEF IS ALWAYS A MISTAKE.
THE REALITY IS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REASONS WHY PEOPLE USE DRUGS. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? HOW CAN WE BEAT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WANT SO BADLY? WHAT CAN WE DO? WHERE CAN WE FIND "THE FIX." YOU CAN START BY LOOKING IN A MIRROR.
