Once desire was turned on, combustion gave it a life of its own. Once it was turned on it became a raging wildfire, uncontrollable and uncontainable, the type of conflagration that had to be allowed to burn itself out.

About This Quote

When you become an addict, your desire for something affects you to the point where it can take over your life. Once you decide to use, the act of using becomes an addiction in itself. Once something has become an addiction, there is no stopping it. The addiction will continue to grow until it is allowed to burn itself out.

Addicts don't want to stop using because they are afraid that they won't get that one last hit. They just want to get high and forget about their problems for a while.
