Anybody that's not supportive of me staying sober obviously has to go. But on the other hand, there are not really a lot of people who don't want me to stay sober. I was a nightmare.

I don't really drink very much, although I have abused alcohol in the past.

I still party all the time and hang out with everyone who drinks, but I just don't personally, and don't really have the desire to get blitzed drunk any more.

I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.

What's the point of staying sober?

I think a lot of people are scared, and I know I was scared to get sober, at least using this as an excuse; 'I don't want to be one of those sober people.' And I don't think you have to be. I think you can be one of those people who happens to be sober.

I'm not really the party person. I don't 'become myself' once I'm drunk. I don't use alcohol to be happy.

When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.

Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.
