Addiction Quotes

Even when we get what we addictively want, our wanting to keep things that way automatically creates a new addiction Picture Quote #1

The very wealthy and the very famous have a much closer affinity with the indigent street person than with the rest of us. There’s the narcissism, the addiction, even the outlandish dress. Often they don’t put great value in relationships Picture Quote #1

Worse that drugs is drug trafficking. Much worse. Drugs are a disease, and I don’t think that there are good drugs or that marijuana is good. Nor cigarettes. No addiction is good. I include alcohol. The only good addiction is love. Forget everything else Picture Quote #1

Facing my addiction was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in my life Picture Quote #1

All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation Picture Quote #1

You cannot cheat with the law of conservation of violence: all violence is paid for, and for example, the structural violence exerted by the financial markets, in the form of layoffs, loss of security, etc., is matched sooner or later in the form of suicides, crime and delinquency, drug addiction, alcoholism, a whole host of minor and major everyday acts of violence Picture Quote #1

I could have gone for gambling or sex addiction,... But I went for obesity because of the tremendous impact it has Picture Quote #1

How important is it really that you feel satisfied right now for 2 minutes, compared to getting yourself free from addiction forever? Picture Quote #1

I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me to, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I’m just addicted. It is my only addiction Picture Quote #1

Photography to me is an addiction. I get jittery after a couple of days without a camera. Everyone who knows me says I’m happiest when I’m shooting Picture Quote #1

The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug Picture Quote #1

It’s a beautiful thing to be that committed to something that you get so much joy from, but it is like a sick addiction, because sometimes it’s incredibly volatile, incredibly painful, and very frustrating. A man shouldn’t be defined by his work, but I am Picture Quote #1

So it persists, for many of us, hunger channeled into some internal circuitry of longing, routed this way and that, emerging in a thousand different forms. The diet form, the romance form, the addiction form, the overriding hunger for this purchase or that job, this relationship or that one. Hunger may be insatiable by nature, it may be fathomless, but our will to fill it, our often blind tenacity in the face of it, can be extraordinary Picture Quote #1

Golf is a terrible, hopeless addiction, it seems: it makes its devotees willing to trudge miles in any manner of weather, lugging a huge, incommodious and appallingly heavy bag with them, in pursuit of a tiny and fantastically expensive ball, in a fanatical attempt to direct it into a hole the size of a beer glass half a mile away. If anything could be better calculated to convince one of the essential lunacy of the human race, I haven’t found it Picture Quote #1

Workaholicism is such a tough addiction to get over. I had to divorce my wife because she was an enabler Picture Quote #1

There’s no such thing as addiction, there’s only things that you enjoy doing more than life Picture Quote #1

I was happier when pursuing success than I was when savoring its fruits; the attraction, perhaps the addiction, was in the process, as much as in its end Picture Quote #1

Once and for all, people must understand that addiction is a disease. It’s critical if we’re going to effectively prevent and treat addiction. Accepting that addiction is an illness will transform our approach to public policy, research, insurance, and criminality; it will change how we feel about addicts, and how they feel about themselves. There’s another essential reason why we must understand that addiction is an illness and not just bad behavior: We punish bad behavior. We treat illness Picture Quote #1

What’s so bad about addiction? I can’t remember. Isn’t it something about giving up your freedom? Isn’t freedom an illusion? Picture Quote #1

Running is my addiction. It’s always present. I’m constantly thinking about my next run Picture Quote #1

The difference between passion and addiction is that between a divine spark and a flame that incinerates Picture Quote #1

I can pretty much guarantee that you will at some point find yourself doing something that at one point you swore you’d never do. You’ll do it for the sake of getting high, either directly or indirectly. Trust me. It will happen. You might think you know yourself better than anyone, but you have yet to become acquainted with your addiction. It will introduce itself in ways that you never thought were possible Picture Quote #1

The inability to stop is the essence of what addiction is,... my favorite drug was more and all Picture Quote #1

One of the problems we have is that we cannot just be content to admire and enjoy, we have to possess and feel we own what we see. That can become for many of us an addiction which adds a complication to our life and takes away our peace of mind. Craving things becomes after a while a serious distraction and an obsession Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I’m addicted to fame; fame is more of an unpleasant circumstance of an addiction to creativity Picture Quote #1

The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment Picture Quote #1

The trouble with addiction is that you can park the car but you can never switch off the engine or stop yourself from hearing the revs Picture Quote #1

I think I have an addiction to pretty much everything. I mean, I have to be very careful with myself as far as that goes, which is why I have a support group around me consistently Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, in the course of my hopeless quest, I would pick up and dip into one of the ordinary books that lay strewn around the castle. Whenever I did, it seemed so insipid and insubstantial that I flew into a rage and hurled it at the wall after reading the first few sentences. I was spoilt for any other form of literature, and the mental torment I endured was comparable to the agony of unrequited love compounded by the withdrawal symptoms associated with a severe addiction Picture Quote #1
