Quote by Christina Hoff Sommers; Sally Satel

“But when we retrace the addict's steps, it is clear that the trajectory leading to compulsive use was marked by scores of small, deliberate choices, made many times a day; whom to spend time with, which neighborhoods to visit, whether to allow himself to become bored. With each decision he made himself more vulnerable to continued use. These small decisions, then, are critical to becoming an addict - but the good news is that they are also critical to recovery. Which is why recovery programs universally stress the importance of learning to make safer choices, called 'relapse prevention' therapy.”

“When your personal decisions and behaviors are both self-centered and scheming, yet you expect your children to be considerate and honest—that is called insanity. Whether you like it or not, your living example, far more than your preaching, has the mightiest impact on the behavior of your children. If your life is a picture of deceit, then your example to be emulated is one of deceit. Repent and change before your children adopt the same behaviors.”
