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.

When I say I was drinking two or three cases a day, I really mean that. So like 72 beers in a day. Yeah. I would hazard a guess I was probably walking around at a constant 0.2 or 0.3 blood alcohol content.

as you'll hear in a little bit my frame of reference for that's pretty good um i usually could tell what i was at um it was bad though uh i wanted to die i really did um and i just i knew if i kept drinking i would and so that that's what i was doing that was your plan that was the plan i was gonna drink myself to death um Somehow I ended up back in Georgia at my parents' house.

My brother was there. Some of his friends from high school were there. And I guess I had just shown up at their house drunk as shit. And I don't remember what happened, but I'm sure I picked a fight because I used to do that. And my brother had had enough and my dad had had enough.

And I don't remember what happened, but I remember waking up in jail the next day with black eyes like I'd had the hell beat out of me. And I was the one that went to jail because I'm sure I was the instigator, you know. So that's my first time going to jail. They charged me with, I guess, two counts of domestic battery because it was my dad and my brother.

And then one count of felony terrorist threat because apparently I said some really dumb shit to the police. Yeah. They dropped those. I had an order of no contact from my parents. Oh, I had... I don't know if you've wondered this, but I'm drinking a very large amount of alcohol. You're probably wondering how I was affording that.

Somehow, I had gotten credit cards and had paid them just enough to where I had a $30,000 credit limit. And I literally ran up like 20 grand in alcohol. So... I bonded myself out of jail with my credit card. I don't even know if you can do that today. Like, I think that might take cash. I don't know. I should know this.

Anyway, I bonded myself out of jail, and I, you know, my parents had taken my car because I got pulled over going like 120 miles an hour. With dope and guns in the car, too. Never got caught for that. I just remember that. Had that girl from Florida in the car with me, though. Anyway, they'd taken my car and sold it.
