What Do You Think of This Quote?

Question by Claire K: What do you think of this quote?
I was reading a book about a woman who overcame drug addiction. It is a very old and odd ball book but I found it in an old bookstore. This quote struck me. What do you think of it?

“For three years, I swam in thick, gooey molasses which was sometimes warm and sometimes freezing. Sometimes very dark as well. I was quickly pulled out twice, but then slipped and fell in again. I am coming out again, this time, on my own.”

It could have been an hallucination initiated by a drug stupor. Coming out on her own indicates that she is overcoming her addiction without outside aid.

I think it is a lovely quote. Very accurate. My three favorite quotes about addiction are:

“It’s like I have a loaded gun in my mouth, and I like the taste of metal.” Robert Downy Jr.

and

“When you can give up something any time, as long as it’s next Tuesday.” Nikki Sixx

and

“Selling my soul would be a lot easier if I could just find it.” Nikki Sixx
