“Powerless is losing everything you love and blaming it on others.  In the end, being powerless over addiction leads to being alone with the one person you hate most of all –yourself.”
― April P, High til I Die: The Dirty Mind of a Drug Addict

“No matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s up to you to get back up.”
― April P, High til I Die: The Dirty Mind of a Drug Addict

“It doesn’t matter how bad your past is, there is always someone who has done worse. The point is, it is just a memory. It has no power over your choices today.”
― April P, High til I Die: The Dirty Mind of a Drug Addict

“when you’re sitting on a plane 40, 000 feet up in the air, looking out the window, dreaming of your future and how bright it appears to be, or maybe just watching the drops of rain being pushed into different designs from the force of air at 400 mph, well, life feels good. it feels safe, your seat belt is on and your feet are up. then the oxygen masks fall, the plane jumps, snaps and jolts. people start to scream, babies burst out crying, people start praying all in time to the overhead announcement that we’re gonna crash. right then, as your life flashes before your eyes, you hear yourself say, “god, if you get me outta this one, i’ll stop [insert lie here] forever.” right then the nose of the plane pulls up and the captain says, “wow, that was a close one, folks. we’re ok, we’ll be landing in thirty minutes and we’re all safe and sound, sorry for the scare…” that’s how getting hooked on junk is, and when the kick is over you can’t believe you ever got on that plane in the first place. the question is, will you ever fly again?”
