Freedom from obsession is not about something you do; it's about knowing who you are. It's about recognizing what sustains you and what exhausts you. What you love and what you think you love because you believe you can't have it. (p. 163) ↗

Maintaining order in the classrooms has never been easy and it is evident that the school setting requires some easing of the restrictions to which searches by public authorities are ordinarily subject. ↗

I used to think, that when my old inner demons started creeping back into my life, that it was a sign of failure or moral weakness. But the saints have shown me that part of the human condition is to struggle with the same sins and suffering over and over again. Once I accepted the fact that I’d probably always have to be on guard against spiritual attacks related to food and my weight, I began to really recover. ↗

Visos līdzenumos, visos tālumos, jūras un kalnu, sūnu un mežu vientulībā cilvēks vienmēr meklē kādu robežu. Jūra ir skaista ar savām šķautnēm, kurās kaut kas satiekas. Dullais Dauka ir mākslinieks, un cilvēki ir dullie daukas. Jebkurā līdzenumā un tukšumā cilvēks meklē robežu, bet arī - jebkurā pārpilnībā. ↗

I wrote in my journal about how good I felt when I was not living under Ed’s control. Then, when I really felt like giving up, I read these pages and realized that I was striving for in recovery was a real possibility. I thought about these experiences and used them as encouragement to keep moving forward. Even one minute of freedom was proof that I was getting better. At first, these times were few and far between. Now, these moments are connected; they are my life ↗
