I hate feelings. Why does sobriety have to come with feelings?

As I sat in the hot, salty water, I thought, 'No wonder Mr. Bubble always gives me a urinary tract infection and hives.' Mr. Bubble was for common people. Mr. Bubble was for my so-called brother, their true child. I was a Vanderbilt. I should bathe in condiments and seasonings.

When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.

Everybody in recovery smokes. If you don't like smoking, don't even bother trying to get sober. Just stay drunk.

But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair.

I love to both give and receive very old books.

I've learned how to turn the adversities in my life into enriching experiences. You can actually gain a lot from adversities and they make you the person you are today.
