When I remove this alcohol, it's not like everything's immediately better. And I'm looking at myself and I'm forced to deal with my shortcomings. And I found myself... Particularly in the beginning, it's not as bad now trying to replace the alcohol with other things, which I justified as being not as harmful. For instance, for me, it's buying books.

And I have gotten much better about this, but I used to have a very bad book problem to the point where I was going to the bookstore every day for a while and buying books because I'm looking. A lot of times about self-help books, right? I have a massive collection of which I've read 20 pages of each one. And I'm like, ah!

this isn't going to fix me because I'm looking to some sort of external thing to fix this, this problem within me. And for me, it was buying books. It's embarrassing after a while because you show up at the bookstore and they're like, Oh, Hey, how are you doing? Randy's back.

It's like when you drink, you hear alcoholics say this is like, they're trying to cover up the fact that they drink so much by shifting their alcohol purchasing location to different convenience stores. Like on Tuesday, I go to this one and get a 12 pack.

And then on Wednesday, I go over here to this other one to get a 12 pack because you don't want the clerk at the convenience store to think you're an alcoholic. For me, it's like the bookstore. They're like, oh, this guy has a book problem.

I'm a bookaholic, yeah. It's a problem to this day, I will admit, but I've gotten better about it. I've slowed down about it. I just love books. I love them. I can't help it. Well, I have to send you mine then. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah. I will definitely take that. No problem.

For me, this sort of, and some people, like you mentioned earlier, like sex, gambling, all these things, these are external, these are attempts to use external measures to control ourselves, I think, to exert control, to make us feel better. And in the end, the only thing I have absolutely any control over is, is myself. And I don't even have control over my thought processes.
