“once you felt the rush after you shoot up, you will never forget it and you will never be the same. it really doesn’t matter how long you’ve been sober. and even though sobriety is beautiful, nothing will ever compare to the feeling you once had. you might deny it. eventually, you might even believe it. you might try not to think about it, you might try to forget, but you will always remember it. usually you will hate to remember it, but sometimes you will love it. you will dream of it. that’s the price every addict pays, it’s a curse every addict lives with for the rest of their days and the worst, the saddest and the most painful part of it is that sometimes, just sometimes you will wish you could feel it once again, without falling right back to active addiction… but you can’t.”
