"There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist." - Mark Twain I meet many young people who have aged because of their drug addiction. They have lost the spark of youth that is creative and hopeful. Their eyes reveal a powerlessness that keeps them prisoners of lethargy. They do not want to do anything. They walk with no purpose. Addiction breeds pessimism. Recovery is realizing life need not be like this.True joy and happiness come with the experience of self, rather than chemicals. Reality is facing pain and problems to rediscover the dynamic spirituality of a drug-free existence. Life begins with "No" to drugs.Happiness and confidence are discovered in the "Yes" to life.Let me see beyond gloom to the promised sunrise of tomorrow.
