“Again, sexual anorexia is not about character. Sexual anorexics do not wish
for the torment of obsession and the demands of rigid control. They recognize

feeds on itself.”

“I would miss having Nic in my life. I would miss his funny phone messages and his humor, the stories, our talks, our walks, watching movies with him, dinners together, and the transcendent feeling between us that is love.
I would miss all of it.

Nic is absent, only his shell remains. I have been afraid - terrified - to lose Nic, but I have lost him.”
― David Sheff, Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction

“Which do you think is more patient, an idea or a hope?”
