Quote of the Day: Addiction
"The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
: Samuel Johnson
"Once addiction takes place, the patient has no choice but to continue to use. Physiological and neurological changes take place in the brain. You can actually see the changes that have taken place in the brain."
: Marc Kleinman
"The inability to stop is the essence of what addiction is, ... my favorite drug was more and all."
: Nora Volkow
"How use doth breed a habit in a man!"
: William Shakespeare
She goes from one addiction to another. All are ways for her to not feel her feelings.
: Ellen Burstyn
"Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town."
: George Carlin
"I know I struggled with it during my high school/adolescent stage. It was an addiction that I fought with every day. I was trying to conquer my sexual desires through something the world says is acceptable. Though it is no longer a daily struggle, it is something that I must ask God to sustain me from. I understand now that only God can fight these battles. Through God's strength, temptations, especially pornography, can be defeated, but only if we maintain a daily relationship with Him."
