I mean, I could have gone to prison right then. I remember doing a lot of LSD in shrooms over the next month or two. And basically had a psychotic break, I guess. I don't know. I ended up going back home to my parents, that girl Rachel that I met at MEPS. What do you mean a psychotic break? It was like a constant state of panic. If you've ever had a panic attack, they last a few minutes usually.

This lasted for four days, and no amount of alcohol would make it go away. Psychotic break is probably not the right word, but something happened, and it was after I ate 10 hits of acid in two days. What got you into the acid? Um, oddly enough, it was the kid that, that had the chambered the rest of that pistol. Um, I just wanted to change the way I felt and I would do anything I could.

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.

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.
