EPIGRAPH
❝People are not addicted to alcohol or drugs, they are addicted to escaping reality.❞
-unknown
❝I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom. ❞
-Edgar Allen Poe
