today's quota: Virtually Surreal & Subtle Addictions

- "The only difference between a madman and myself is that I am not mad."
- "I don't do drugs. I am drugs."
- "The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels; it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant."
- "I believe the moment is drawing near when... it would be possible to systematize confusion and thereby contribute to a total discrediting of the world of reality."
- "Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it."

Subtle Addictions:
"Many people are aware of the fact that addictions are used to avoid pain, and most of us are aware of the common addictions: food, alcohol, drugs, gambling, TV, spending, work, sex, rage and so on. Most people, however, are not aware of the more subtle addictions..."
- Margaret Paul, PhD

question with answers: Addiction Recovery & Humor

Is humor important in addiction recovery?
It certainly helps. But if you or someone you know is still suffering, there's nothing funny about that. You don't have to face it alone - there's always hope and help available. See here:

today's quota: All The Animals Come Out At Night

Leighann Lord:
"Did you know America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug use? It's nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we need to do is start the war on education. If it's anywhere near as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we'll all be hooked on phonics!" - Standup Comedy See a Video Clip

Arnold Schwarzenegger:
"After the muscle-shocking sessions we drank wine and beer and got drunk and carried on like the old-time weight lifters back in the 1800s or early 1900s... We got into this trip that we were gladiators, male animals. We swam naked out in nature, had all this food, wine and women; we ate like animals and acted like animals."
- From 'Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder' Archived Website

Robert De Niro as 'Travis Bickle':
"All the animals come out at night... dopers, junkies - sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."
- From the Film, 'Taxi Driver' Listen to Sound Clips
