“End-stage addiction is mostly about waiting for the police, or someone, to come and bury you in your shame.”
“Remember it is your choice; you can either wait for someone or end someone’s waiting.”
“Your home is where your family is... Where someone waits for you and thinks about you.”
“Shame is the lie someone told you about yourself.”
“I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly.”
“If you try to lose weight by shaming, depriving and fearing yourself, you will end up shamed, deprived, and afraid. Kindness comes first. Always.”
