You are not an alcoholic just because you drank a lot at a point in your life.
You are not an addict unless you are going to the stupidest lengths in order to get your fix.
You're not a pothead because you smoked pot twice and liked it.
You are not a junky for using drugs for a fairly short period of time in your life.
You are not terrified until you met the spiral.
You are not terrified unless you came close to death.
You are terrified to have anything take over your life

When I see the presence of gratitude in people...I silently read the great lengths of gaps they have crossed over already.
