Some addicts need-

AIN'T NO PAIN HIGH ENOUGH -
"Pain seems to be the price of admission, but we always seem to get many more rewards than we had hoped for or expected." "This pain is the pain of building character. We no longer hide behind a cloud of smoke whenever life presents us with an opportunity for spiritual growth." (Life with Hope, p. 35)
"Wisdom is
nothing more than
healed pain."
- Paulo Coelho (1947 - ) Brazilian novelist / lyricist
