Russell Brand
“We have been taught that freedom is the freedom to pursue our petty, trivial desires. Real freedom is freedom from our petty, trivial desires.”
Russell Brand, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addiction

Russell Brand
“A counsellor at the treatment centre where I got clean, herself a woman in recovery, surprised me when she said, ‘How clever of you to find drugs. Well done, you found a way to keep yourself alive.’ This made me feel quite tearful. I suppose because this woman, Jackie, didn’t judge me or tell me I was stupid or tubthumpingly declare that ‘drugs kill’. No, she told me that I had done well by finding something that made being me bearable… To be acknowledged as a person who was in pain and fighting to survive in my own muddled-up and misguided way made me feel optimistic and understood. It is an example of the compassion addicts need from one another in order to change.”
Russell Brand, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions

Russell Brand
“You can never quench your spiritual craving through material means.”
Russell Brand, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions

Russell Brand
“If we all feel that we are alone, how alone are we?”
Russell Brand, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions

Russell Brand
“We crave connection, but so much of the time we are not alive, neutralized. Who are you when you’re listening to the radio in traffic? You are not you, you are on standby. Mostly we are free-floating and disengaged, lost in the spectacle.”
Russell Brand, Recovery: Freedom from Our Addiction
