Drug-use is a terminal disease.

If a child has an older sibling involved in an addiction, there is a 90 percent chance that he or she will get involved too.

Adolescence in my growing up period was truly "Happy Days," the title of a TV show connotating the quality of this life period.

As the therapeutic relationship is established and progress occurs in problem areas, the therapist can "lead" and "push" the adolescent toward abstract reasoning skill.

Second, I use inference from technical studies and theories in order to provide practical information for therapists. Those thoughts are several steps removed from scientific validity.

If his/her siblings and parents are not treated and he/she is strong enough to continue the recovery, a sibling will take up the "druggie" role.

A certain group of adolescents evidence clear "druggie" behavior and attributes some time before they actually begin drug use.

Second, the only proven technique for treatment for chemically dependent people involves use of a spiritual program of self-change.

It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me

Lazy people live lonely lives.

Packing is my pet hate.

I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A. push shuffle and anything will come on.

You should definitely visit the Louvre, a world-famous art museum where you can view, at close range, the backs of thousands of other tourists trying to see the Mona Lisa.

Now I just bake when I'm bored and I'm not working and I don't want to go out. I'll just get recipes and bake them here for myself, honestly.

To understand the limitation of things, desire them.

I am you and you are me; it is obvious we inter-are.

I don't believe your soul mate has to share your politics.
