Shannon L. Alder
“Nobody knows what God's plan is for your life, but a whole lot of people will guess for you if you let them.”
Shannon L. Alder

Gabor Maté
“We see that substance addictions are only one specific form of blind attachment to harmful ways of being, yet we condemn the addict's stubborn refusal to give up something deleterious to his life or to the life of others. Why do we despise, ostracize and punish the drug addict, when as a social collective, we share the same blindness and engage in the same rationalizations?”
Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

Gabor Maté
“It is impossible to understand addiction without asking what relief the addict finds, or hopes to find, in the drug or the addictive behaviour.”
Gabor Mate, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

Sherman Alexie
“There are all kinds of addicts, I guess. We all have pain. And we all look for ways to make the pain go away.”
Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Gabor Maté
“The difference between passion and addiction is that between a divine spark and a flame that incinerates.”
Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
