these are small exerpts from Dan Goodman's wonderful book;
hope is like the sun, which, as I journey toward it, is bound to give me cancer.
when God shuts a door, He opens a window-then pisses out of it onto my life.
Self discovery is useless unless I discover I'm somebody else.
I am not an unattractive person. I am downright hideous.
If I fall off the wagon, no one will know, because I have no friends.
To bring harmony into my relationships with others I must first realize that their lives are much better than mine.
Knowing and unerstanding myself helps me realize just how worthless I really am.
If I am impatient with the pace of my recovery, I should just go ahead and kill myself.
Life is a series of valleys and more valleys, of which I will fall into every single one.
I deserve true love-even if it costs me 3.99 a minute.
People may disappoint me, but not nearly as much as I will disappoint myself.
There is nothing wrong with crying when your life is as pitiful as mine.
If I let go of the feelings that cause me pain, I would have no feelings at all.
Happiness doesn't come from having what you want...in fact, it doesn't come from anything at all.
Loneliness is a harbor in which I will drown every day of my miserable existence.
Criticize, don't analyze.
In helping others you're wasting your time because they're just calling you a loser behind your back.
The first step in finding God is accepting His presence and the fact that He's just ignoring you.
*The rewards of tolerance on a personal level are; misery, abuse, and eventual death.
If you are honest with yourself, loneliness and despair are easily within reach.
I cannot retrieve my inner child, for it is dead and buried in my backyard.
When I eliminate the impossible, whatever remains is still not attainable by someone like me.
When you feel unloved, get used to it, because you know it's the truth.
I should accept the flaws in my character, for without them, I would have no character at all.
Listening open-mindedly to others is a waste of time because people don't like me and want me to fail.
All of my relationships would be stronger if I was simply not part of them.
The mistakes I make today I will make tommorow, because I am stupid and slow.
When I realize what I have to be thankful for, it is only then that I realize how worthless my life is.
I cannot achieve complete humility-although complete humiliation is always within reach.
Believing in myself is easy when I believe I will fail.
Saying "good-bye" is always painful, except for the people who are saying it to me.
Dependency isn't a problem unless I'm depending on myself.
If I am patient with myself it will only take me longer to realize I am feeble.
* ha ha...so sad
Writing a "personal inventory" is easy when you have nothing to show for your life.
Competitive relationships will always have a loser, just like any relationship with me.
Self-restraint is not important because nobody really cares what I say or do.
My behavior today will not be self defeating as I am more easily defeated by others.
Once you fear failure you fear the only thing you'll probably ever know.
Everyone faces adversity the moment they face me.
God helps those who help themselves, if they help themselves to hurting me.
