Applying willpower to this compulsion is like applying an antibiotic to a viral infection. It will never have any effect. ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Locations 862-863).

They call the other people
“normies” for a reason.
They’ve got this illusive “willpower”
we dream of, but we can’t get it…
And they can and don’t understand
our ineptitude in not being like them.
But we’re not normal, just normal for us
and that’s what makes it so neat!
The disease symptomized by lack of willpower
can bring us grace and peace, serenity and joy
and life beyond our wildest dreams,
just because we have no willpower
and fit in the rooms of recovery.
