What is this thing you call substance abuse? All I wanna do is forget and get loose. Drinking and smoking over and over What's so great about a life that's sober? There's nothing cool about being young When the monsters of night have stolen the sun. I'm tired of searching for words in the sky. All I wanna do is drink and die. Nothing is real. It's all a big lie. All I wanna do is drink and die. There's nothing cool about being young When the monsters of night have stolen the sun.Anonymous
About This Quote
This quote by the late Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, captures the frustration of addiction. Cobain felt that there was nothing cool about being young, when the monsters of night have stolen the sun. In other words, when you’re an addict or alcoholic, you can’t see your way out of your addiction. Like all addicts, Cobain thought he had a choice when in reality he had no choice.
Addiction is a disease and often a deadly one at that. The best way to cope with addiction is to find a support system and a support system is found in a strong family unit where the family members encourage each other in times of hardship.
