You know, I had, I had done acid previously in California. Um, uh, but never to that extent. Like I just ate a ton of it. And then we went picking shrooms. I mean, I lived right across from the, the Auburn veterinary college fields where they have their llamas or alpacas or something. We'd go pick shrooms and, I've always been fascinated by psychedelics. We could talk more about that.

But the timing, time frame on all this is a blur just because I was so fucked up, man. Completely out of my mind. My apartment looked like a hoarder lived in it. There was no carpet. You could see nothing but beer cans. And Eventually, you know, I got evicted. I don't remember that. But somehow I ended up back in Georgia.

And somehow Rachel, that girl from Destin that I met a year prior, ended up in Georgia and my parents with me. I don't remember how that happened.

This part right here, I haven't. I probably should. I honestly haven't even thought about this time period in my life until today in a really long time. I hate talking about the fact that I failed at being in the infantry. I hate talking about the fact that I failed at being a college student. My life is a constant series of failures up to this point.

So I haven't really put a whole lot of thought into it. I remember I spent a whole lot of time down in Destin after I got back from Fort Benning.

um I remember driving that 67 Camaro down to Destin a lot I remember drinking in Destin a lot um so I really don't know how many of those gaps my parents could fill in because I wasn't we weren't talking during that time period I don't think I think that they knew the wheels were falling off the bus man you know and

My mom learned a long time ago sometimes that she's got to love me from a distance to preserve her own mental health, which I can completely understand. I was having a lot of health problems from my drinking, though. I was throwing up a lot of blood. I lost a whole lot of weight. You hear about college kids floating kegs and drinking a lot of beer, and that's very common. But I was next level.
