Addiction Quote by Lora Leigh

Because this high chanced an addiction to not just the pleasure, but to the woman. And he was beginning to fear he had found the woman and the pleasure that could become an addiction impossible to live without.””

![“For me, I never knew what addiction was. I just knew my heroes, like [New York Dolls guitarist] Johnny Thunders, did heroin. I didn't have a father, it looked good to me. If I had read Johnny Thunders' book The Heroin Diaries, I don't think I would have done heroin.” quote by Nikki Sixx](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1cf/nikki-sixx-1436_addiction_for-me-i-never-knew-what-addiction-was-i_460231.jpg)
