“I wanted to be honest and to live life without the looming fear of having to hide something. Also, as I had noticed in rehab, there was something that felt unhealthy about the desire to drink in the first place. I wanted to drink, but I also wanted to be free of the urge to drink—someday, if not that day.”

“There is a recurrent and selective amnesia that the greatest drug harms -- including addiction -- are almost always caused by legal products: morphine and cocaine in the nineteenth century, stimulants and sedatives in the mid-twentieth century, opioids more recently, and, throughout and always, alcohol and tobacco.”

“While there may be no natural cut point between people with addiction and the rest of humanity, the fact of a continuum does not mean we cannot discern one state from another. There is a philosophical problem called the paradox of the heap: If a heap of sand is taken apart one grain at a time, at what point does it stop becoming a heap? There is no natural dividing line in that”
