There were six kids, seven kids, shit, because I had James, seven kids. And there was room for all of them. And so they would come over there a lot. It was a big, nice house. They loved being over there. And I think at first nobody really, nobody really understood the totality of how deep in it we were in because we made it look good. You know, we kept the businesses going and for me,

You know, lots of people, they think heroin junkies. They think of people, you know, just passing out in their chairs with a needle in their arm. That wasn't me at all. I guess from watching my mom all those years, I have to be in control. I cannot be so out of it that I don't know what's going on. So I would snort heroin, and it would give me superpowers. Like, I was like Supermom.

We would clean. I would bake brownies. We would go feed the ducks. I was organizing everything. I was getting all my work done. I was doing all the emails. I was dealing with customers. Like, nobody would have even thought that I was on drugs. I just looked like Superwoman 24-7 until I got dope sick, until I ran out of dope. And then, like, my hair hurt. My skin hurt. Everything. I couldn't move.

And that's when people started noticing maybe they're back on drugs. And then, you know, money, money wasn't even an issue. Like, you know, most people, you know, something's going on because they're running out of money. And we just didn't do that. Um, yet we would eventually, and we would eventually get kicked out of that house because, um, crack became more important. And this is,

I mean, we're talking about probably a five-year span that I'm kind of going over right now.

Ben actually probably knows more, but I think they just bring in, you know, so much, and they sell so much, and maybe some get seized. You know, you'll see the big seizures they have, and sometimes those seizures were drugs that were meant for Memphis. And then they just, I guess the supply kind of runs out.

So Ben was on crack before I even knew him. And, you know, when we first met, I'm very transparent about everything. And, you know, I told him my mom was a crackhead. And I told him I never wanted to do crack. I never wanted to end up like my mom. My mom was also a raging alcoholic, a very violent one. So I stayed away from alcohol. To this day, I hate alcohol. I don't want anything to do with it.

And... So those two things I always stayed away from. And then one day, we couldn't find heroin. And I was just so, so sick. I was dog sick. I just couldn't move. But we could find crack. And I think Ben had already had some. There was one day that he was sick and I was not sick.
