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

Alcoholism is a dread, an awful, and fatal disease.

I would never become an alcoholic like my father because my father deserted us. But diseases, there's no let up.

I see the way I look upon organized religion, I was a victim of that of mythology, and of cruelty, and all the absurd stuff.

I've avoided work all my life, you see. So, I'm like a bee. I go from flower to flower.

I've seen so many horrible and awful results and consequences of people practicing alcoholism. It's murder, I've seen that. I've seen a lot of suicides, a lot of strange sins.

I've been sober for 25. And every day I am very grateful that I don't drink.
