Dr. Cali Estes

I thought for sure it was an overdose.

I mean, it's got to be an overdose.

And it wasn't an overdose.

It was a heart attack.

Yeah, because he was mixing fentanyl crack.

I had no idea that either.

When he passed away, the house was full of crack pipes.

His side.

And the entire refrigerator was covered in fentanyl.

I was like, wow.

Yeah, it's, well, once you start opiates, it's physical withdrawal.

Like cocaine isn't physical.

It's all mental.

opiates you have vomiting and you have diarrhea and you have restless legs you're gonna be sick you have all these symptoms so he had been doing oxy for two years and i didn't know and then it was heroin that was a mess and then he couldn't get off it yeah and he never want to finish the detox and i'm like you know you could you could throw the detox with suboxone but he always take it too early he'd be in precipitated withdrawal and then it was always a mess and i was like our book

The I Married a Junkie 2 opens up with him in precipitated withdrawal at 35,000 feet in first class.

Sitting next to me, puking in a magazine, and I had no idea that he was in precipitated withdrawal.

And he put himself in, but taking a Suboxone on a flight.

Yeah.

And he was off the charts.

Because you got to remember, I travel a lot.
