• I talk to people who go to rehab, and they get this AA book that they've got to read everyday - really thick book. They go through all these 12 steps and do all this and that. It's crazy how everybody can sit and talk about rehab but if I come to say Christ was my rehab, it's not cool to say that. ... For me that's my rehab. That's what happened with me and it's an amazing and powerful thing.

• Non-mainstream people seem to balk at the idea of 12-step. A lot of us think 12-step recovery means sitting in a church basement full of Republicans and Christians who drink to much.

• Creo que los programas de 12 pasos funcionan de verdad, la rehabilitación funciona de verdad, ciertos tipos de terapias y hablar con otros adictos funcionan de verdad. Hay muchas cosas que funcionan, ese no es el problema. El problema es conseguir que los adictos digan que son adictos. El problema es admitirlo.

• I used to think, "I can't go to these meetings because they'll make me believe in God. Make me go to church." I knew it wasn't right for me before I ever tried it. I was suspicious of anything outside my realm of experience. That same kind of attitude carries over into 12-step programs, because they are programs. There's this feeling that you don't need this bullshit, you can quit on your own. People that don't know anything about it seem to have a better idea. They haven't even been.

• Siempre busco el contexto en el que la gente cuenta historias. En "El club de la lucha" son esos grupos de apoyo para moribundos, y en "Asfixia" son los grupos de recuperación de 12 pasos. En una novela son colonias de artistas; en otra, un diario que suelen llevar las esposas de los submarinistas para que, cuando su marido vuelva de servir en un submarino, tengan una relación del tiempo que ha pasado su cónyuge. Así que siempre busco, en primer lugar, un contexto de no ficción, porque puedes contar una historia más rocambolesca si utilizas un formato de no ficción.
