um, gotten worse had, had I not had my parents kind of not stepped in and, um, and helped me out.

How did, how did your parents know you had slept?

Um, they, they knew that I was partying a lot and I was, I was abusing, I was drinking too much and I was doing drugs and all that stuff.

I think, I think I got to the point where it, it started to affect my, um,

my brain chemistry like i was really i started to get really paranoid and um was having some psychoses and things like that like i thought i was i was i don't know i'd substance abuse my way into just a detachment from reality in some sense um

I remember showing up at their house and just breaking down into tears and told them that I had a problem.

I wasn't an addict, but I needed to change whatever I was doing.

It wasn't working.

Thank God they just were ready to take me in and help me, you know.

And I can't claim to be one.

I'm not.

I never was.

It was just this period of time where I took it way too far.

I think I just had like a really big night and I was freaking out and I was coming down and

realizing that i didn't want to live in this cycle anymore and and had just slipped from too far from who i was and the values that i you know claimed to hold dear and went to them and just broke down you know my nervous system and my psychology and everything was suffering a lot and i just realized i needed to and wanted to

you know clean up and get back on track and um actually keep working towards the things I said I wanted and you know that when you're in that like that kind of state the partying and the the highs from that can be so seductive like they become more important than yes the real thing yes

Oh, that's tricky.

I haven't kicked it out yet.

Guys, it's been like 15 years.

Oh my God.
