“Recovery is a positive thing. Theres nothing to be ashamed of. When you know you need help, and seek help, you need that time to deal with it. Get used to that new discipline. Tell when you are ready to tell. Theres no shame. There are people who get out of that prison, like Eric Clapton. I wanted to know what it was, that peace, that serenity. A lot of my friends didnt want to hang out with me when I came back. That hurt.”
