Addiction Quote by Delaney Ridnour
“I should wash these pills down the drain, because it seems easier to prolong the pain. because I know going threw withdrawal will just about kill me.. it seems easier to just go on. poppin pills until dawn. knowing in the end what will be, will be. that somewhere deep inside, theres a little bit of pride, a tiny shaft of light that still reminds me. of the girl I use to be. when my brain was clear and free. but I'm not sure I can be that girl again”
