“كنتُ أشعر بالارتياح القلبي لأنني على مقربة من بيتي. في تلك اللحظة، كنتُ أعلم أن الملايين من الناس تراقبني، وكنتُ سعيدًا بأن كبير الوحوش المونسترواكان كان يراقبني من خلال ذلك المِنظار الكبير من أعلى برج الحراسة بالهرم الأكبر. استغللتُ تلك المراقبة من بعيد، وابتعدتُ عن طعامي قليلًا، ثم فتحتُ ورقة كانت بحوزتي، وابتعلتُ منها ثلاثة أقراص ومضغتُها. كانت تلك الأقراص علاجًا وطعامًا لي أيضًا، ثم تناولتُ قارورتي فشربتُ منها الماء.
كان معي حقيبة صغيرة يوجد بداخلها بعض الأشياء. من ضمنها بوصلة، أعطانيها كبير الوحوش المونسترواكان حتى تكون لي عون أثناء مغامرتي على أرض الظلام. وقد قال لي: إنك قد تضل الطريق وسط ذلك الظلام الدامس من غير تلك البوصلة.”

“...there is a saying used in twelve-step programs and in most treatment centers that "Relapse is part of recovery." It's another dangerous slogan that is based on a myth, and it only gives people permission to relapse because that think that when they do, they are on the road to recovery.”

“One of the first actions we take at Passages is to ruthlessly scrutinize, always under a doctor's supervision and care, the specific necessity of any mind- altering or mood-altering medications that our clients are taking. As soon as any non essential drugs are out of their systems, the feelings they were trying to suppress usually emerge. When that happens, we can see what symptoms the client was masking with drugs or alcohol.”
