But when Asmund had to escape from the guards on the Finnish boat was not Knut Oscars with. He had decided to have a white January, that is to stay away from alcohol for a month, and had therefore gone to bed. But when he came to Helsinki, he found out it was a bad plan.
- I realized how stupid it was. It would be like going to Greece with the bunch on vacation, and then say right before leaving: "Guys, I think I drive sober all week." It had been poorly done for you.

- You do not write the best tunes on the way home from SATS, you write them once you have been on two-week tour and wonder if you can stand on their feet. That's when all the rock'n'roll you hear from the 70's, that's how the rock is made, and that's how our rock is created. You need to sort out and create stories to write down.

You are terrified to go out of the door, for you have anxiety that goes beyond all categories, and you're scared all the time, and all this is because of the alcohol. I had also the perception that "if I drink in social layer, then I guess not an alcoholic," so I was very keen to be out in public when I drank, which had peculiar results, says Ida Maria.
