Quote by Fae Quin

“Sometimes it's hard for both of us to realize that love, real love, has no stipulations." Miles sucked in a breath and his eyes burned holes into mine "It doesn't come with strings attached. And it follows you, no matter how far you run. It's messy and sweet, and if you let it, it fills in all your cracks and crevices.”

“Completely loyal, completely unconditional. And I laughed at her, because even I knew that love is not like that. Love is a delicate thing that needs to be cosseted and protected. Love is not robust and love is not unyielding. Love can crumble under a few harsh words, or be tossed away with a handful of careless actions. Love isn't a steadfast dog at all; love is more like a pygmy mouse lemur. Yes, that's exactly what love is: a tiny, jittery primate with eyes that are permanently peeled open in fear.”

“We need to do things differently beginning now. If you are a family member or friend who loves a person who has an addiction, you know the nightmare. There is the nightmare of refusing treatment. There is the nightmare of not staying in treatment. There is the nightmare of not staying sober after treatment. This list doesn’t even begin to include the many losses, the fear, the worry, the desolation. Professionals alone cannot do the job. We clearly see this truth all around us. Getting the job done requires a resource that has long been relegated to the sidelines, given no meaningful role to play in the treatment and recovery journey. This resource, as it turns out, is the most important one of all—the family.”

“Coming together takes the powerless and makes them powerful. Structured Family Recovery brings this power to the family and, in co- operation with the larger recovery community, stands firm in the face of addiction, which trespassed into our homes and multiplied itself into our lives. We crowd addiction out by building a family life brim- ming with togetherness and recovery, even though we may start out not knowing our way back to each other.”

“I am grateful for fond memories of childhood that overshadow the painful ones. I am grateful for all I have been able to resolve internally, for the darkest moments, and for rising from every fall. I am grateful for the beaten dragons. I am grateful for the surviving child in me, for my strong wings, for the doors opening for me, and for the ones that closed behind me after teaching me what I needed to learn.”

“There are those who claim they only smoke a few cigarettes here and there, or only smoke cigars or only vape, insisting they don’t have a problem with nicotine. They seem to enjoy saying it, even when nobody asks, as if their “lack of a problem” requires justification.”
