So I start to feel a little responsible. The little girl's running around. Daddy's on the floor. I'm not feeling right about this anymore. It's a dirty needle laying there.

Yes. this is what movies are made out of is what I'm thinking. I'm like, okay. So I propped him up on the couch and I can't, he's like a limp stuffed animal. Every time I prop him up, he flops over a problem. And I'm like, this is not okay. And as I'm looking at him, you know, skin is getting whiter. Veins are turning blue colors, leaving the face. Lips are turning purple. And I said, Elena.

He goes, yeah. I said, he's dead. He's dying right now. And she's like, no, he's not. And then I licked my finger and I put it right up to his nose. There was nothing. Put my hand on his chest. Nothing. Felt his pulse. Faintest pulse. So for whatever reason, man, I just responded. I said, call 911. And she goes, I'm not calling 911. I said, your kid's father's dying right here.

And she goes, he's not. He's going to be fine. So I picked up the phone. I called 911. I told the operator, I said, we have a drug overdose. We need somebody dispatched immediately. She'll give you the directions. And I handed her the phone and she was pissed, bro.

And I remember thinking to myself in that moment, like, I need to stop this because if somebody's upset that I'm calling the ambulance to save a dying husband, this is not okay. So, I just kind of surveyed the situation, and I realized unless air got into his lungs, because he was experiencing respiratory depression, that's what happens when you do opiates, he was going to die.

So I took a deep breath, and for the first time ever, I started giving a grown man mouth-to-mouth.

It was the last time, too. Well, I'm still alive, so you never know. We'll get that in. But I'll never forget, bro, the atrocious smell of his breath. It just... In that moment, you go, what the fuck am I doing? What has this come to? I gave the guy CPR. I gave him chest compressions. I gave him air for probably three or four minutes. The first responder shows up, and I'll never forget.

He cracked the door open. He comes in. I knew the guy. He was a mechanic. That was a volunteer. And he's like, what are you doing here, bro? Right. And I'm just like, oh, just he goes, keep doing what you're doing. I said, that's your job. He goes, man, if you're doing it and it's working, just keep doing what you're doing. The medics will be here soon.
