| I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't got sober. I know now I was dicing with death and it's terrifying to think about. (13 Oct 2026, acknowledging the life-saving necessity of his sobriety.) |
| I'd drink a bottle of wine in the toilets before work, I'd have another bottle of wine at lunch then a third in the afternoon. A fourth and fifth in the evening. (13 Oct 2026, describing his daily routine of consuming five bottles of wine.) |
