\nQuotes by Luke
\n\u25cf Don\u2019t ask, \u201cWhy the addiction?\u201d but instead ask, \u201cWhy the pain?\u201d You need to work out why you\u2019re trying to make yourself feel better.
\n\u25cf I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve been through for who I am now.
\n\u25cf Addiction doesn\u2019t just stop. You don\u2019t just \u201cget better\u201d. You constantly need to work on it for the rest of your life.
\n\u25cf For me, it wasn\u2019t so much the drugs that was addictive, but the lifestyle that the drugs brought.
\n\u25cf You can solve any problem in your life if you just adopt personal responsibility.
