Addiction Quotes - page 6
Addictive behavior is kind of the inverse of procrastination: procrastination is about not being able to do what you want to do, addiction about not being able to not do what you don't want to do (drink, use drugs, etc.)
James Surowiecki
The feeling of righteousness is the core mood alteration among religious addicts. Religious addiction is a massive problem in our society. It may be the most pernicious of all addictions because it's so hard for a person to break his delusion and denial. How can anything be wrong with loving God and giving your life for good works and service to mankind?
John Bradshaw
Slowly I began to realize that the bells and the confinement, the crazy sequences, the age-segregation, the lack of privacy, the constant surveillance, and all the rest of the national curriculum of schooling were designed exactly as if someone had set out to prevent children from learning how to think and act, to coax them into addiction and dependent behavior.
John Taylor Gatto
Irony is the hardest addiction of all. Forget heroin. Just try giving up irony, the deep-down need to mean two things at once, to be in two places at once, not to be there for the catastrophe of a fixed meaning.
Edward St Aubyn
I don't want Christmas season to end, because it's the only time I can legitimately indulge in on particular addiction: glitter.
Eloisa James
She didn't love him and he didn't love her; she was like an addiction, and what they were doing had a darkness to it, a weight.
Kim Edwards
Alcohol and drug addiction are problems, and we should use outside agencies that know the business. They do business all over the country. Why don't we contract them to do it? See, we should be in certain businesses.
Richard M. Daley
[Vegan lifestyle] just shows a different side of me that I love to express and the fact that I love my life so much and I look into it so much that I try to make everything as efficient as possible and do everything that I was put on earth to do. ... Every five blocks there's a McDonald's, but there may be one Whole Foods every 30 blocks or every 30 miles. You've just got to have the dedication to where you're like, ‘OK, I'm passing all these obstacles just to go to the goal.' It's just like living in the hood and somebody trying to get over the addiction of drugs. On every corner you've got somebody asking you, ‘Yo, you good?' You're just trying to make it to the bus stop and go to work and live a clean life, but somebody at every corner just keeps stopping you and saying, ‘We got this weed. We got this coke. I got that new s--t.' It's the same thing. You've just got to be strong, and you'll fight through it and know what's best for you.
Bryant Jennings
The end of my addiction to fame happened at the exact moment 'Roseanne' dropped out of the top ten, in the seventh of our nine seasons. It was mysteriously instantaneous!
Roseanne Barr
This overweening addiction to the courtroom as the place to debate social policy is bad for the country and bad for the judiciary. In the legislative arena, especially when the country is closely divided, compromises tend to be the rule the day. But when judges rule this or that policy unconstitutional, there's little room for compromise: One side must win, the other must lose. In constitutional litigation, too, experiments and pilot programs - real-world laboratories in which ideas can be assessed on the results they produce - are not possible. Ideas are tested only in the abstract world of legal briefs and lawyers arguments. As a society, we lose the benefit of the give-and-take of the political process and the flexibility of social experimentation that only the elected branches can provide.
Neil Gorsuch
I'm a former bulimic myself and it's a horrible, horrible addiction.
Janice Dickinson
Gang members have invariably grown up in broken, chaotic homes, often experiencing domestic violence; they have truanted from school and many have been formally excluded; and they live in neighbourhoods where worklessness, addiction and crime are rife.
Iain Duncan Smith
My addiction has always been beautiful women, being surrounded by them.
Corey Feldman
As with the rest of Phoebe's species, Julie must not let her become dependent upon supernatural solutions, trading one addiction for another.
James K. Morrow
Jazz was my passion for a little while. I felt that all other kinds of music were stupid when I was into jazz. But I got over the addiction very soon.
A. R. Rahman
But I will say that the drugs are much more ferocious then they used to be. There are people wrecking their lives with addiction, which seems much more severe.
Armistead Maupin
I always think I am one of the millions and millions of people that struggles with an addiction to food. I don't know how to relax, that's my problem.
Carnie Wilson
Anyone who has lived through it, or those who are now living through it, knows that caring about an addict is as complex and fraught and debilitating as addiction itself.
David Sheff
Twitter is a real addiction, like the color of it, the process of it.
Earl Sweatshirt
That's it. With equal parts regret and relief, the Jane's Addiction experiment is at an end.
Eric Avery
I am trying to break free from my stripes addiction, but the pull is strong! I need help buying non-stripes.
Gillian Jacobs
I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves.
Jay Roach
