Normal people don’t need to get high every day.
Normal people can go a week without drinking.
Normal people can keep promises they make to themselves.
Imagine an obsession so strong you can’t think about anything else.
Imagine starvation..
Now imagine something worse.
My hands were shaking.
I couldn’t sleep.
I couldn’t eat.
This isn’t normal. This isn’t the way normal people live.

And now they’re telling me I have to get rid of the only thing that loosens its grip. That’s the irony, isn’t it? That’s what these old men are trying to tell me with their sad stories and coffee breath. The thing that helped has become the thing that imprison us. We keep feeding it and it keeps wanting more. This is a disease where the medicine that gives you relief is the same thing that kills you.
