But I could tell this guy knew something. He knew a way out of this, you know, and he told me that he was going to get me out of jail that day, and then he wanted me to meet him at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting that night. Now, I'd been to N.A. back in California, but I just used it as a place to pick up chicks. I didn't pay any attention.

But I would do whatever I had to do to get Brian to get me out of jail. and I would do whatever I had to do to not live that way anymore. And I meant it. Like with every fiber of my being, I meant that shit. I was dead set on I'm going to do this. And so he got me out of jail.

I found out after I left the jail that day that the judge was dead serious when he said I can't go home and I can't go to the halfway house. But they forgot to figure out what to do with me, so I had to figure that out. which I'm sure was 100% intentional, right? They wanted to see what I was going to do.

So now I'm a free man, and it's the middle of December right before Christmas, and I have nowhere to go. I'm on the streets. Am I going to fuck up or am I going to do right? And I think that's what they were trying to figure out. And I did right. I got with my dad and got into an extended stay motel. I went to an NA meeting. First time I ever saw her. And I was serious about doing it.

And I decided I wanted to try to fix things with Erin. She's the mother of five of my kids, and divorcing her was something I could not wrap my mind around. No matter how bad she wanted to, you know, she spent all those years thinking I was the one for her, knowing the problems that I had. And here we are with the problems front and center. What are we going to do? I had that conversation with her.

We decided to reconcile. And so I think it was Christmas Eve of 2014 I moved back into the house with her and the kids. In hindsight, it was a terrible idea. Did you blame her for the restraining order? Were you upset about that? I was upset about it. I was hurt more than anything. I didn't blame her for the relapse. I will never blame anybody else for that.

Now, I make my own decisions, and when I choose to go get high about something, that's on me, not them. When we went to court for the restraining order, because the way they do these things, they'll issue it just based on the word of the woman. And that's good. I'm glad they do that. And then you have a hearing about it to decide if it's going to stand or get tossed out.

And when we sat down in the courtroom— They start asking Aaron all these questions like, when did Mr. Owen strike you? When did he do this? And she's like, no, no, none of that ever happened. And the judge is basically like, well, then you can't have a restraining order. What are we doing?
