"If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?"
 "Try your best to deal with life without medicating yourself."
"You mean drugs?"
"I mean drugs, food, shopping, money, whatever.
I ain't judging anybody, either. I was hooked on heroin for years.
But now I've learned that every feeling will pass if you give it time.
And if you learn to deal with your feelings, they'll pass by faster each time. So don't rush to cover them up, or you're never gonna learn."
