“I really, really believe that in the universe of alcoholics, the vast majority of alcoholics will never figure out that alcohol is their problem. Go to any skid row. Go to any place where they're really, really down and out, low-bottom drunks, and you ask them what the problem is, and they'll tell you, right? My wife cheated on me. I was molested, right? And they won't ever say alcohol. And those of us that are alcoholics that figure out that alcohol is a problem, what a rare group we are.”
