Quotes On Quitting Alcohol
Alcohol, by any other name, would taste as sweet.
Alcohol is the answer, but no one knows the question.
If you drink too much, or drink often enough, you’re not drinking for the right reasons.
There is a huge difference in someone who drinks and a true alcoholic. Alcoholics are alcoholics all the time, and these people can never drink moderately.
I don’t think people should drink at all; it’s a filthy habit and makes you dirty inside.
There are many different kinds of alcoholism: Some begin early in life, some begin when one is middle-aged, some when one is nearing the end of life.
Alcoholism is a disease that affects every aspect of your life.
Alcoholism is like a cancer that slowly eats away at the body, mind and soul of the person infected with it.
Alcohol kills more people in one year than all murders in recorded history since man has been on this planet.
You know you have alcoholism when nothing else seems to matter but drinking and when all your future plans center around getting a drink.
Alcoholism is an attempt to fill with something artificial that essential emptiness within.
The worst kind of drinker is one who not only drinks too much but is also a heavy smoker as well. These people are living on borrowed time, and it’s only a matter of time before their bodies break down from the many toxins they have introduced into their bloodstreams.
You know you have alcoholism when nothing else seems to matter but drinking and when all your future plans center around getting a drink.
Quitting drinking is only easy if you do it for the right reasons.
Doing something about your alcoholism involves confronting your innermost being and making some hard choices about what you’re willing to do in order to take back control of your life.
Quitting drinking is no different than quitting any other addiction, it takes personal power and determination to be able to say “no” when your body is screaming “yes.”

“A man addicted to drugs is a slave with no control over his life.”

In my opinion, there should be mandatory drug testing for everyone who works in positions of power in the government and in businesses of all sizes.

“I’m in no way against marijuana. I’m just saying that it’s addictive. It’s important for kids to know that before they start experimenting.”
“The best way to get rid of a bad habit is to replace it with a good one, but if you want to break a habit completely, the only real solution is abstinence. You have to give up the habit completely and never do it again.”
“When you use drugs, you enter a whole other world and when the high goes away, you crash hard.”
“It’s important for kids to know that before they start experimenting.”
“Drug abuse is one of those things that can sneak up on you in more ways than one. It starts with an innocent little pill or two and before you know it, you’ve got a major problem on your hands. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have a good time without drugs. It just means that the risks are too great to take them.”
“It’s also important to remember that the people who use drugs aren’t always the ones who are addicted to them.”
“Drugs aren’t a bad thing, but if they’re abused, they can be dangerous.”
