THE DEAL WITH THE DEMON

Recovery feels like taking one painful step after the other while wondering why you’re continuously putting yourself through this. Then, one day those shackles brake and you’re unchained and running completely free. When you look back only one thing will cross your mind and that is: it was worth it. All of it.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

You must go on a long journey before you can really find out how wonderful home is.

I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.
