I think that the most dangerous emotion that any addict can have is uncontrolled anger.

Let me come at it from a different way.

God damn it.

Is it possible?

No.

Everything.

The greatest lesson I learned in this go round is exactly that.

is that when they tell you to make your gratitude list, I always thought, and it is an appropriate thing,

And he doesn't have to be an addict to get up in the morning and benefit from making a gratitude list, which is like every day in Southern California, seven out of 10, you're like, I'm grateful for the weather.

I'm grateful for my wife.

I'm grateful for my son and the relationship that I've rebuilt with my daughters and for my painting and the coffee that tasted so good and like all the good things that are going on.

That's well and good.

What it really is, is being grateful for every awful thing that ever happened to you that brought you to right there.

Have you ever read the Gnostic Gospels that they found in Naj Hominy?

I'm not a scripture guy, but there's a great thing.

I was listening to an audio book of a famous book called the Gnostic Gospel.

He says, basically, I'm paraphrasing, is learn to suffer as I do, and you will be able not to suffer.

And it was like, yeah, that's it.

Be grateful for all of that suffering, because there is no way that you are here, sitting in this chair right now,

Without all that?
