I don't believe in a religious version of that, but I do believe I had the gift of desperation.

Then there's Narcotics Anonymous.

It's mostly opiates that people would go there.

Sometimes it's other drugs.

Sometimes it's alcoholics.

They're quite nice meetings.

I love Cocaine Anonymous.

That's for any mood or mind-altering drug and behaviours.

I like them.

There's also things like Gamblers Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous.

There's a Nicotine Anonymous.
