When I came to, like, I was coughing up blood, and I figured I must have been puking blood because I could still taste vodka. So I knew I'd been drinking a lot. And then as I got up, like, it was all over me. And so I didn't know how badly hurt I was or what had happened, and there wasn't a cut on my body. So to this day, I don't know what happened. And as I realized where I was...

the window to buy dope from is right there. And I looked over and Daphne or Crecia or whoever's in the window and it, my body is wanting to go to the window and get dope to wake up and figure out what to do. And I just couldn't do it. I could not take another step in that direction. Um, I couldn't remember anything from the proceeding several days. Um,

So I immediately took that upon myself that it was my fault and I went and drank at it and it began my progression to rock bottom that week. I found a phone that day and called my dad and he told me to just come home. And I didn't know how the hell I was going to get there. Long story short, I ended up going to Georgia. I got on a Greyhound bus. I didn't get high that day. I was done.

By myself. And I told Jess, I was like, you can either come with me or I'm getting my shit together and I'm coming back for James because this is over. We're not doing this anymore. And we'd had similar conversations a couple times before. I would go to detox and tell her, you're coming, or I'm leaving. And she'd come. She'd show up.

You know, we'd been through this a few times, and then every time it happened, somebody would die. Somebody would get murdered. There'd be another overdose, and we'd relapse. And this time I was done. I was getting the fuck out of Memphis. I couldn't stay. And so I went to Georgia, and... I'm a control freak. I always have to manage everything, manipulate really everything at this point.
