In addiction recovery, a sure sign a person is making progress is the re-emergence of the emotional life. Let yourself feel!

First we stayed sober because we had to... then we stayed sober because we were willing to... finally we stay sober because we want to...

The heart needs to be broken when will-power is not enough

If you were G-d, you would not want to be a ritual, would you?

"I have never felt bad enough - or been in a situation that is bad enough, that a little lusting wouldn't make it even worse!" Ani ma'amin be'emunah sheleimah that however much it hurts not to act out, acting out will only make things even more complicated and even more difficult for me. There's gottabe something else I can do!

The difference between most people and a "lust-addict " is that for the addict, it's not the lust that's the problem, rather the lust is just a symptom.

I do not particularly care exactly which 'lav' suicide is. I'm not interested in it for other reasons!

I hope you are in recovery one day at a time, rather than just "holding on" one day at a time.

"Fear" is the darkroom where my negatives are developed.

"Anger" is but one letter away from "danger".

Take what you can use and leave the rest.

The price for serenity and sanity is self-sacrifice.

It's the first drink that gets you drunk.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth.

Try to replace guilt with gratitude.

Share your pain.

Share your happiness.
