When I stopped drinking, it was only because I thought if I don't stop, I'm going to die.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep.
I got sober because I was worried I was going to die next year.
I got sober. I stopped killing myself with alcohol. I began to think: 'Wait a minute - if I can stop doing this, what are the possibilities?' And slowly it dawned on me that it was maybe worth the risk.
When I was still drinking, I thought I was kind of in control of everything in my life and other people's lives and realized at some point that that just wasn't the case at all.
I don't like to stop. I believe you stop when you die.
I haven't been drinking for years now. Something's got to give. I don't mind that I'm a guy that's stopped drinking, though this interview is making me mighty thirsty.
I don't drink. I choose to be sober now. I have drunk over the last six years, but I just don't want to be that person anymore.
So I did quit coffee and I did quit smoking. But I haven't managed that with drinking!
Well, I stopped drinking. That was actually a big deal. I didn't go through any harrowing rock-bottom experience. I just made a decision to stop drinking.
When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.
