Yeah, and it's been a hard adjustment for me as well because all my children live with me.

So that I've got in my own home with my children.

So from, you know, going from doing what I was doing to now being a mum to three children and running a home and being a single parent is hard as it is.

So sometimes, yeah, I can find it overwhelming, but never to the point of recovery saved my life.

And it's not only saved my life.

You know, I am happy.

I'm at peace.

I am content.

Yeah.

I'm just a smackhead, no good smackhead.

I'm not a mother to my children.

That's how I used to think.

I'm a piece of shit.

but I didn't understand what was wrong with me.

And that's what I do.

That is why I do what I do, because nobody in their right minds takes themselves to the gates of death or insanity, you know, and you're in that much pain, but you keep fucking doing it.

You know, you can't tell me that that's not an illness.

Or self-harm, mental health, whatever you want to call it.

It's...

It's real and it's killing people at the end of the day.
