And I hopped in the GTO and went to where I go for comfort. South Memphis. And, uh, I'd waited just to punish myself until I was good and dope sick. I wanted myself to suffer. I had this sick self-hatred because of the situation I'd created. Where did she go? To her dad's down in Mississippi. And, um, I'm going, I don't know, 70, 80 miles an hour down East Parkway in Memphis and I ran a red light.

And I T-boned an F-350. And, uh, spun and I hit a light pole and the inside of the car burst into flames. I'm pinned underneath the steering wheel. My face hit the steering wheel so hard that my teeth, I had to pull my lip off of my teeth. Like they'd gone all the way through it. I've got bones sticking out of my foot and I'm engulfed in flames.

Still trying to get heroin. I'm still dope sick. Look, this is the thing. If you've never been dope sick, you don't understand it. You will do literally anything you have to do to prevent it. It is the most terrifying experience a human being can go through. both mentally and physically, but especially mentally. It's bad.
