A caption box reads, "LIFE TIP: WITH A LITTLE THOUGHT, ANY PERSONAL FAILING CAN BE DISGUISED AS A SUCCESS." Below it, a man with flame-like orange hair grins broadly and gives a thumbs-up, declaring, "GUESS WHO QUIT COCAINE THREE TIMES TODAY!" — reframing a repeated relapse as an achievement. Votey: the same man lies slumped in bed looking exhausted and says, "UGH. I'M TIRED. I'M GONNA GO QUIT AGAIN," revealing that quitting three times means he kept relapsing in between.
