You know, I was getting – after tax, so each month after tax, I was having like $15,000 land in my bank account.

And –

I would pay everyone back out of that money.

And it got to the point where I was paying everyone back.

I still owed people.

And then this is the start of the month.

So I've got four weeks or sometimes five weeks until I get paid again.

Now I still have rent.

I still have my mortgage.

I still got groceries.

I've still got to put fuel in my car.

And I'm now back to zero.

In 2019, you injured your knee and it meant the end of your career.

And one morning after that happened, you found yourself in Newcastle.

What happened?

Because at this stage too...

I'm abusing drugs and alcohol really badly as well, which is also contributing to my debt because drugs and alcohol aren't cheap.

And I am partying or like bendering so much just because it's the only thing because I'm in so much pain in my life.

It's so...

My life was just in such a shamble and just so completely destroyed that I need to numb myself.
