Recovery is Everywhere
We are a small group of recovering
addicts who decided that we wanted to change the way people think about
addicts and addiction.
Recovery is everywhere is a public education campaign designed to:
• Reduce stigma by informing the public that they unknowingly have contact
with recovering addicts every
day who work hard and contribute to their communities.
• Offer hope that addicts do recover.

A Collection of Ozzy
Osbourne Quotes:
- "My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk."
- "I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my
kids do the same thing."
- "I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were
directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never urinate at
the Alamo at nine o'clock in the morning dressed in a woman's evening dress
sober."
- "I never go on stage drunk or stoned or anything."
- "When I was a practicing alcoholic, I was unbelievable. One side effect
was immense suspicion. I'd come off tour like Inspector Clouseau on acid:
'Where'd this cornflake come from? It wasn't here before.'"
- "Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a
bus."
- "I've had every known chemical - cocaine, booze - and tobacco is the
hardest one in the world for me to quit... It's suggestion by looking at
something. You see a cigarette, and it makes you want to smoke!"
- "To be honest, I am a little bit crazy. I accept that. I've always been
outrageous. I've never been the every day you. I've always gone over the top
with everything."
- "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."

Addiction
"In addiction, as we see it, you're compelled to use a substance or
behave in a certain way, even though you know you face considerable harm by
going through with it. Simply put, addiction causes a change in your
brain... When the change occurs, you lose control over your urges to use a
substance or engage in certain behaviors... You can become so compelled by
your addictive behavior that nothing else matters. It doesn't matter how
smart you are, how accomplished you are, or how physically strong you are.
It can happen to anyone."Brian F Shaw, PhD,
et al, 'Addiction & Recovery for Dummies'

Chris Rock on Addiction
"I don't get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I
messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there's no rehab for
stupidity."
"Actually, I think all addiction starts with soda. Every junkie did soda
first. But no one counts that. Maybe they should. The soda connection is
clear. Why isn't a presidential commission looking into this? Or at least
some guys from the National Carbonation Council." - Chris Rock quotes

You know you are in
recovery if...
"When my wife said to me do you think could you try
this weekend not to have a drink? I said don't be so stupid. I could stop
any time I like. That was a real belief I had... Yeah, I went to a treatment
center, and I went twice. I went once and came out for a while, stayed sober
for about a year and a half and then kind of just thought well, you know...
Maybe I have licked it... maybe I'm just sort of special and different, you
know? And I didn't go back to drinking. I went back to drugs first, and I
found that I didn't like the drugs without the drink. So I thought well,
that was clever... I went into treatment just over 10 years ago now, the
last time... I've been sober ever since."
- Eric Clapton, 'Larry King Live' 1998 interview quote

"Addiction is
being recognized by all the clerks at the liquor store."
"Addiction is missing my mother’s birthday because I was high."
"Addiction is thinking every year that this year will be different, then
finding out it’s exactly the same."
"Addiction is calling in sick because I was up until 6 AM getting high,
sleeping until noon, and waking up and getting high again."

Emotions and Recovery:
"It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feeling one
can go through in a day."
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Artificial selection studies do not rule out individual characteristics,
such as emotionality, which may be selected co-incidentally with a
preference for alcohol and, in turn, influence the tendency to drink."
- Neil Carlson et al, 'The Science of Behavior'
"It is unlikely that genes drive us to drink."
- Robert Plominn |
Supplies:
"When the guy at the door said, 'Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,' I just
assumed it was more supplies."

Journeys on Mind Mountain:
"When you can listen to your thoughts without becoming lost in what you
hear; when you can hear them without adding or subtracting, without editing;
when you can remember the very worst without cringing, without even an
eyeblink of the mind, it’s then your life will turn."

What really interests
me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world. |

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education
than to have education without common sense.

of success, but rather try to become a man of value. |

M. Scott Peck:
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when
we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is
only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to
step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer
answers.

The Man Who Thinks He
Can!
If you think you are beaten,
you are;
If you think you dare not, you dont!
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch that you wont.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind!
If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!
Author ~ Walter D. Wintle
