#178 Ben Owen - Inside the Life of an Addict

Even after I met her, she just thought I was skinny, you know? You don't think she looked the other way? She could smell it on you? Well, so she knew I was drinking. She was drinking too then, right? So that was acceptable because she didn't see what happens when I don't drink. I get sick as shit. She also didn't see me drinking at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Went to like a Holiday Inn, and yeah, that's what we did. And I go back to Atlanta. And it lasted two days? Two days. That's it? That's it. What ended it? Well, I had to go back to Atlanta. Oh, okay. And so what actually ended it was she said she's getting divorced. Her husband didn't know that part yet.

He's about to because like three weeks after I get back to Atlanta, she realizes she's pregnant. And there's no way it's his because they've been sleeping in different rooms and blah, blah, blah. So she has to tell him and then she has to tell me. I may have misrepresented it. I'm not actually in the middle of a divorce, but I'm going to be now. And I ended up moving to Charlotte.

Moved in with her and her sister. I quit drinking cold turkey. I quit meth the day I left Atlanta. I've never liked meth, ever. I did it because it was there. Well, mostly because God tried to pay me in meth and I wanted at least something for my labor. So anyway, I quit drinking cold turkey and it almost killed me. I got pancreatitis. I lost 40 pounds in a month.
