Can't even hold on to a four-wheeler if he wanted to get back on it.

I mean, you know, it's all the things that he enjoyed doing.

I'm like, I would be so depressed.

I would be in such a dark place.

And you don't really have an escape.

Yes.

Like, you just, and you're in pain constantly.

Just, yeah.

So it started to get to a point where, like, you know, I'm five hours away.

But my friends, my brother's friends, there would be incidents where they would call me and be like, listen, I just saw your dad and he's passed out in the Wendy's parking lot.

Like it was to that point where he was drinking so much, mixing alcohol with pain pills and driving.

He'd be out doing something, trying to get out of the house.

And my mom would be at work and I'd be like, I don't know what to do.

I'm five hours away.

Like, can you get him?

I remember a specific time where a friend that I went to high school with didn't talk too much after that.
