You want me to give you an honest answer? Yeah. I felt like getting a hug from God. Like the most peaceful thing I've ever felt in my entire life. Instantly. Instantly. That void that I always have inside me that I've been trying to fill since I was 13 years old, that emptiness, it was gone in an instant. It was gone. It was warm. It just, it was euphoria.

And I didn't need anything else after that. I had arrived. And the entire journey getting to this point, I had been trying to find ways to change the way I felt. And for the first time in my entire life, I didn't want to change the way I felt after I hit that. I was hooked immediately. Um, that was, uh, it was right around Halloween of 2013. And Erin knew something was wrong.

She knew something was wrong. She didn't know what, um, Andrew ended up getting arrested again, and so I had to go meet the dope man to get my own heroin because I'm obviously physically addicted. I can't afford to be sick. And that's what took me to South Memphis. Old man Stan, this old 70-some-odd-year-old black dude that sells heroin in South Memphis.

And so I'm making, you know, two, three trips a day out there to buy dope. Yeah. But I kept telling myself, this is going to be the last time. How'd you meet him? Andrew took me to meet him right before he'd gotten arrested again. So I'd already met Stan. Now I'm approved to go to the Dope Man by myself. What's the neighborhood like? Oh, it's Altra Hood.
