“No one is so inadequate that he can’t help himself to some degree. Not only can he, but he must; nothing else will work.”

“It takes strength, however, to be warm, firm, humorous, and caring and still do what we know we ought to do. Our lives would be much better if we never said, “The hell with it!”

“Clara didn’t live on feelings because they ebbed and flowed. She had decided to keep the train of her life on the parallel tracks of faith in God and loving others. The enemy tried to push her off the tracks every day and it was her job to trust God, to believe He was good and was working, and then to act on that belief by loving others. If she’d said it once, she’d said it a thousand times. “People let their feelings push them away from God or away from believing that their life makes a difference. They think that because they don’t see God working the way they think He should work, He’s not there. Or they think He doesn’t care and they get discouraged.”

“Addiction, that is, negative addiction, is the third, and in terms of pain, essentially successful choice in the series of choices made by people who are unable to find sufficient love and worth. Each choice—from the initial decision to give up trying to find love or worth, the second choice to take on one or more symptoms, and the final choice of becoming addicted—is a pain-reducing step. The reason addiction is powerful and difficult to break is that it alone of all the choices consistently both completely relieves the pain of failure, and provides an intensely pleasurable experience.”
