“It’s one thing to ADMIT life is a roller coaster and another to hang on for the ride.”
D.J. Adamson, Admit to Mayhem

“There is no graduation from alcoholism. Or life, for that matter. I am also addicted to Pepsi, chocolate, men, being afraid, being afraid of not being afraid, men—again--and my independence, co-dependence and unsettling ability to fail no matter my attempt.”
D.J. Adamson, Admit to Mayhem
