I had a hard time with that "saying no" thing earlier in my life.

I count myself as one of the lucky and blessed ones who made it out of active addiction alive. Hoffman had many years clean and sober and that scares the crap out of me.

It serves as a reminder that addiction is very, very patient. For those who get clean and sober, it waits for us. Like a tiger sleeping at the foot of the bed. It does not take much carelessness to awaken it.
