To give up power to change for the better is inherently distasteful to everyone, and to force people to affirm that they are addicts or alcoholics so they can speak in a meeting is shameful and demoralizing.

A computer cannot manufacture new information. That's the difference between our brain and a computer.

Stress and anxiety cause our brains to release chemicals that put lines in our faces and tear us down emotionally and spiritually.

How you conduct yourself along the path that is your life determines how your life unfolds.

The moment you make the internal changes necessary to obtain your goal, the outside world changes instantly.

You are not an alcoholic or an addict. You are not incurably diseased. You have merely become dependent on substances or addictive behavior to cope with underlying conditions that you are now going to heal, at which time your dependency will cease completely and forever.

Embrace simplicity…be content with what you have and are, and not one can despoil you.
