No, I kept working.

You were still working?

Yeah, because you're living, you know, when you're an addict, you live in two different worlds.

You live in the real world and you live in the fake world.

And you can sustain the two by the drugs you're taking.

You know, it's just, it's a fascinating thing that we create for ourselves.

Yeah.

This imaginary world.

And that's why they always call it a recovery addict because you're always an addict.

Right.

And you're just recovering for the rest of your life.

I don't look at it like my days being clean.

I know I'm going to be clean for the rest of my life.

It's not even a question for my kids.

And that's why I want to be open and I want to share this to my children and everyone who's watching because you shouldn't be afraid for the mistakes you make.

We all make mistakes.

It's how you recover and how you come back stronger the next time.

Because I've seen a lot of my friends who are dead or gone.

They're not coming back.

Who fell back in the wagon, who went back to the heroin, who went back to all these things.
