Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kenneth Anderson
"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest."
--John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
- Carl Rogers
Getting Started With Kenneth Anderson
I operate a free-of-charge, lay-led harm reduction support group called HAMS for people who wish to change their drinking for the better. I am available as a harm reduction speaker or consultant to professionals for a fee. But the support group will always remain free to all--donations are welcome if you feel you have been helped or want to support our cause because you believe in it.
