Yeah.

They actually never saw me drunk at this point. They never did. So when would you do it? All the time. But here's the thing. I would converse just like this without slurring or anything, legally drunk. So I take that back. They saw me drunk. They never saw me actually drunk. I was drinking all the time, but they wouldn't necessarily see me like they'd ever see me with a beer.

I was drinking scotch. And I was going through two bottles of McAllen 12 a day at this point. And it was getting bad fast, so there were like— How's your wife? Does your wife know this?

Oh, yeah. And she knows it's getting out of hand again. What's she saying to you? like begging me to go get help, begging me to go to rehab. Can we please tell your parents? Can we please call your parents? Can we please tell your parents?

So after the kids go to bed... There is no more speaking without slurring. I am blacked out, like plastered after kids go to bed. I also can't get out of my bed in the morning without drinking because if I do, I'm puking up bile. So I have to have a drink just to get out of bed.

But once I have that first drink, I'm just as normal as I am right now until I have too much, which doesn't usually happen until the kids go to bed. I do want to clarify, the only reason the kids never saw me sloppy is because Aaron shielded them from a lot of this. The woman deserves a fucking medal.

Like, she hid so much of this, which is a double-edged sword because in a couple years, it's going to catch them really off guard when I start getting in trouble. But she never let them see that. So they were very sheltered and shielded from it. So even though it was happening, they never saw it. But, I mean, I was pretty— And you're on opiates. Those were off and on.

The infection came back two or three times, 2011, 12, and 13. And each time that it comes back, it's going to get worse. The drinking is an immediate problem because I'm puking up blood again. And so we finally did tell my parents. My mom came and got me, and she took me to this place in Georgia. I'm supposed to stay there for six weeks. The whole thing.
