And I'm being an absolute asshole at work. And I realize it's these fucking pain pills. And so I flushed him down the toilet and he saw me do it. And he looked at me like I was a crazy person. I was like, what? I literally just cussed out a guy that spent $90,000 with me in the last 18 months. I can't do this. And he goes, he just laughed. And then it hit me.

I am physically addicted to these things, and I'm about to find out what it means to be dope sick. And sure as shit, I did. About eight hours later, I could not move. And then comes Sergeant Deaton with a little blue pill that he got from the VA, and that was the first time I ever took one of the 30-milligram Roxy's, and I was better like that. I say better.

I was addicted to something much, much stronger. So it started out with the prescribed pain pill habit, and it progressed to somebody else's prescription, and then it progressed even worse than that. To what? So I went back and forth with the pain pill addiction for probably all of 2012. It made me realize this drinking problem is getting worse quickly.

And so I went to rehab, detox, anyway, in Georgia. On your own accord? Oh, yeah. I wanted it, you know. But I still had this air of entitlement about me. You know, I own a business. I've housed a homeless veteran. I give them a job. You know, I only drink single malt scotch. You know, I'm bougie. And so I had to go to this expensive-ass place where Steve Rivon and Burt Reynolds got cleaned.

And I wasn't going to file it on insurance either because I also have started up Black Rifle and Brushfire Tactical and these other tactical e-commerce brands. I don't want my name. I don't want anybody knowing I'm an alcoholic. You had already started all these other companies? 2012, yeah. I started those up on Shopify. This was before Shopify said you can't sell guns on here.

So what was Black Rifle Co.? It was a gun e-commerce. So not actual firearms, just parts, accessories, and ammunition. Most of it was drop shipped. We would warehouse some of it and ship it out in just like their damn TV parts. And what was the other company? Brush Fire Tactical. We had several of them. We had two testicles tactical, which was hilarious. What did they sell? It was all the same.

Every brand sold the same stuff. I was playing with branding to see which one I can get to go viral.
