For me, for the type of addict I am, when I start getting those swirly thoughts and stuff, and they talk about slippery places, slippery people and slippery things, you know, I need to - I needed to take my cell phone and eliminate all the phone numbers, change the phone numbers so no one I knew before could call me or reach me.

At the end of the spectrum when you get to that 12th step, when you have that spiritual awakening we make ourselves available to help other people.

It's difficult to talk about, you know, my inadequacies, my inability to stay sober when I'm a relatively bright man and I've had a lot of great blessings and a lot of great opportunities.

I thought, 'My God, I'm gonna make $15,000 a week for 13 weeks.' What would I do with that kind of money? You know, I had never seen anything like that before in my life.

I'd just turned 50, weighed 285, and my doctor had read me the riot act about my health.

I actually believe he is the new Cilla Black.

I prefer to say that I am a beautiful person. But the addict is a horrible person.
