I had a lousy marriage and I drank too much.

Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.

I lost my second marriage because of drinking, and I loved the woman very much. But I thought I needed booze to write. I'm glad I was disabused.

My second marriage had a lot to do with alcohol.

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

I only drank for three years of my life, but I drank enough in those three years to last me the rest of my life... It's a religious thing.

I was married for 18 years to a woman who wanted me to get sober for all 18 years and I never did. She finally came to her senses and divorced me.

Now don't say you can't swear off drinking; it's easy. I've done it a thousand times.

A little in drink, but at all times your faithful husband.
