Alcohol Rehab Quotes
Alcohol Rehab Quotes
For many years I was deeply involved in both the practices of drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. For the better part of 15 years I did both things to the tune of a pack of cigarettes and a twelve pack of beer a day. Many people, who are involved in these two practices for as long as I was, say that they were addicted to them. That the practices themselves had “control” over them in some way, and the effects of drinking and smoking are decidedly negative. I walked away from both practices without the aid of any patches, pills, lozenges, or anything else. I found out that everything that I needed to walk away, was right there inside of me the whole time.
While many individuals rail against the negative effects of drinking and smoking, I have a different take. For me, both drinking and smoking were incredibly positive experiences. For example, how could I have told my daughter that she shouldn’t smoke cigarettes, without having the direct experience of smoking? Do you think anything that I said to her would ring true, if I hadn’t had the direct experiences? I’ll tell you from experience the answer is a resounding…NO. People who have no direct experience of things, then preach about the evils of said things, hold about as much water as 50 year old inflatable raft!
The effects that both drinking and smoking had on me are decidedly positive. I can now tell my daughter why neither practice is really the way to have fun and relax, although people will tell her that they are. I can tell her how terrible it feels to not be able to run 100 yards, without being completely out of breath. I can tell her that the quote is true: “If you follow the crowd, you end up stepping in shit!”. Why, because dad spent part of his life stepping in that shit.
The the effects of my drinking and smoking are all positive. I’m thankful that they happened, and that I made it through both of them unscathed. In my mind, focusing on everything that may have been negative about them serves no purpose. I thank God every day for my daughter, because her incarnating into this world is what made dad finally wake up and start living. It’s like Elizabeth Barret Browning said, “You don’t look for miracles, you live one”. I spent 15 years looking for miracles before realizing that I was living one the entire time.

Where can I find good quotes for people in rehab?
My sister is in rehab for drugs and alcohol abuse, and I was wondering what some good quotes would be. Non- religious ones.
I’m only allowed to write her, and so I got a cute card and stuff.
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.
Samuel Johnson
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
-Joshua J. Marine
“Even when you have nothing, you still
have yourself, and that’s the most

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
Soren Kierkegard
In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at half time.

28 Days (Special Edition) $3.47 To appreciate 28 Days, it’s best to be thankful that director Betty Thomas hasn’t forced Sandra Bullock into a remake of Clean and Sober. Instead Thomas has balanced her comedic sensibility (evident in Dr. Dolittle and Private Parts) with the seriousness of alcoholism and substance abuse, and she succeeds without compromising the gravity of the subject matter. Some critics have scoffed at the mov… |
