“As bad as my drug use was, it was a symptom of something much deeper. And their assembly line method of dealing with addicts did very little to help me pinpoint the real issues, let alone address them. So long as I believed that this lifestyle was best, I would find a way to keep doing it, regardless of the penalties. So long as I kept throwing out God, my life would be void of any purpose or meaning greater than making myself feel good before I died.”
