My makeup wasn't smeared, I wasn't disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.
It's not cool to be an alcoholic.
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 was an alcoholic, for sure. It became a problem steadily over the course of six years.
Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.
I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.
An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do.
Once you're known to be an alcoholic, that's how many people identify you, which could be a reason not to talk about it.
What can I say, I'm an alcoholic. It's what I do.
Yeah, I admit to myself, yeah, I'm an alcoholic.
