“Well, upon my soul! You are not ashamed to stand there and confess yourself a disgusting drunkard.”
“I thought I was fooling people. But it's the old thing of 'they say vodka doesn't smell'. No, not until you sweat. And you just lie and lie and you think 'I can deal with this'. And then you finally go, 'No you can't'. And then you give up.”

And then it took about three years, and finally you do stop."”
