yeah it was so one became a drug addict and the other one I kind of lost lost contact with have no idea how many of the guys that you partied with in high school are sober now how many are dead do you do you keep track Um, from high school, uh, most, uh, yeah, I, I, one friend passed away. Um, opiate user, good guy, but, um, you know, he wasn't like a particularly heinous junkie.
I mean, he just was a junkie. Um, but he was a good, I like, you know, good hearted. Uh, and, uh, but he passed away, um, of an OD. Yeah. Overdose. Uh, And, you know, I had, I met a few friends in rehab, one whom I was very close to lived in New York and, you know, we stayed in contact, met in Florida, stayed in contact.
And for, you know, like four years and then, you know, I got a call from his mom saying that he had OD'd, you know, relapsed and, you know, it was just heartbreaking. But, yeah. Most of my friends, like the stoners from high school, are very successful individuals, college graduates, working in finance, working in different sectors and having a great life.
The opioid users kind of like they have the advantage of like many of them that I hang out with or hung out with, excuse me, were already, you know, their family was just uber wealthy. Like one of them, one of their fathers was the CEO of a company called Ameriquest. It was worth like, you know.
um 80 million dollars uh so they uh they had a you know a lot of money to fall back on so like they tried opening up like a clothing line different thing but ultimately music label what music label no not yet that's kind of the classic one yeah No, there were other kids in Orange County that did do that, that tried to start a rap group, and I'm just like... Of course, yeah.
I could write this story. It's just, yeah, Orange County is so weird. But... Anyway, so yeah, so I've, well, yeah, but most of my friends from high school are very successful. And I mean, I like the one, the stoners are, yeah, yeah. But unfortunately, yeah, I've lost multiple friends, you know, people that I actually genuinely cared about, not just, you know, acquaintances.
You know, too many acquaintances to count, but, you know, real friends. It's been like, you know, like five.
no and oh this is this is nuts when i was in rehab so the guy the guy boss right he had different runners like you know multiple guys who would run to cars and one time i had this guy and um and so i was in rehab and it was like a it was in it was in san diego um and uh i think chula vista great place to put a rehab but it was like well your rehab was in chula vista yeah
and uh yeah it's like you're setting yourself up to fail um but uh they uh had like it was a mansion and then it uh kind of like a bungalow they had little like bungalows um like type things and so it could house about like 30 40 people and so they had me there and this guy comes in and I'm like, he looks familiar.
And I didn't like, I didn't, I couldn't put my finger on where I'd seen him before. And he goes, he goes, Hey man, he said, he said, I used to, he said, I used to run for boss. And I, he's like, I think I delivered to you once. And I'm like, And he's like, and he's like, he's like, he's like, you're friends with Harvey, right? And the guy that robbed, the guy that I robbed.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, great friends. And I was like, I heard he was locked up, though. He's like, yeah, no, he's out now. And I was like, oh, okay. And he's like, I'll tell him you said hi when, because you get a seven-day blackout and you can't use the phone when you first go in. A lot of treatment centers have that rule. This place did. And so...
He's like, yeah, I'll tell you said what up when I when I talked to him. I'm like, oh, my God, he's this guy's going to knife me in my sleep, you know, and I was seriously I I was concerned.
I was going to tell like my therapist and see, you know, what could potentially be done because I was genuinely because you could easily in that place sneak out of your bedroom going and go into someone else's bedroom. Yeah. If you wanted to. It's not like it's locked down. You know, they have, you know, quote unquote.
people that are watching at night but the place is so big it's you know you could do it if you want and of course there are no locks on the doors no no of course not because yeah yeah yeah exactly um people were buying air duster and like using you know like anything to get a buzz and i was just like wow that was kind of eye-opening for me but not eye-opening enough to stop but it's like wow this year so how many times did you go to rehab
Total between California and Florida, probably somewhere between 15 and 20. 15 and 20? Yeah. I got, cause I got kicked out of a bunch of places for stupid, for, for reasons that were not related to drugs necessarily. Uh, fraternization, fraternization. What does that mean? Hooking up with girls that were.
Yeah. I mean, not again, consensually. Right. No, I'm sorry. Right. I meant that in a consensual. Just let me, yeah, clarify that.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And, um, so, I mean, I was like 17, 18 years old. Um, yeah. Does heroin affect your sex drive? Yes, it lowers it a lot. And then when you come off of it, you're horny 24-7. Yeah. Yeah, because it's like... Cocaine is like that.
Yeah, and it's interesting because one of my therapists described withdrawal as your body basically being in shock because you've been numbing all your senses for so long.
And then when you stop... Your body is, like, everything is just, like, taking in light.
Chewing food. Everything hurt. Like, my eyes hurt. My teeth hurt. Every muscle and bone in my body ached. Like, it is... If you could find a way to, like, inject that into... Like, find a way to, like, inject that feeling into a, like, for interrogation purposes... Let that guy sweat it out for a day. He'll tell you what all the bombs are. I assure you.
