"We have lived through very difficult moments, Nicola. We suffered for years, we were unwell, and we rose and were reborn. You must be happy every day of your life, and your happiness must depend especially on yourself."

"I started to control him, I followed him everywhere, day and night. I don't know how I did it, but today my son smiles. I found the son I had lost at eighteen; now he's thirty-six."

"I dreamed for years of the moment when you would take your life back... I knew you would make it, and I wasn't wrong. Now the fog that prevented you from seeing things as they truly are has finally cleared. Today we celebrate your rebirth."

"I believe that clarity, the lack of hypocrisy, are important in this journey, as is sharing with others who are facing the drama of addiction."
