To me a saint is a severely edited sinner. That's what I think.

Organized religions have all the facets of organized crime, except the compassion of organized crime.

When I'm writing in long hand, it just goes on and on and on. When I was in the saloon business, I would just greet people and talk to them and avoid taxes, and getting behind the bar. What else.

It's one day at a time, that's all there is to it, and so I don't have to worry about it. All I do is, okay, I do not have to drink. And if I feel like it, I postpone it for ten minutes, and that way I find something else to do in the meantime.

When I'm writing, I thoroughly enjoy it. It just goes on.

Once I know I'm an alcoholic then it is my obligation, duty to see what I can do about healing myself.
