“I'm a drinker with writing problems.”
“A creative writer is one for whom writing is a problem.”
“the only drinking problem I've ever had, is figuring out why I'm still stuck in this salad spinner”
“I'm glad I don't have a drinking problem,' I confided, 'because I don't think I'd ever be able to quit.”
“That is my problem with life, I rush through it, like I'm being chased. Even things whose whole point is slowness, like drinking relaxing tea. When I drink relaxing tea I suck it down as if I'm in a contest for who can drink relaxing tea the quickest.”
