I'm rather clean as a whistle. I mean, when I was in jail, it was just withdrawals and just vomiting and defecating on your side. Just too colorful to admit, you know, to speak about on this show. But just imagine hell, pour some salt on it, and that's what it was. But when I got out, man, especially, and then there was kind of a blessing in disguise.

I got put into a shock camp, which most inmates would tell you is hell on earth. It's a paramilitary boot camp, and it's meant to get time off your sentence. But if you've been in there long enough and they just need somewhere to put you because they're overpopulated, they'll send low-security inmates, which I was because I was nonviolent. They'll send you to the shock camp.

So I got sent to a shock camp to serve out my last six months. Basically, you go from sitting in a prison to hell, training, exactly, 5 o'clock in the morning, running, all that stuff. But I'm glad I did. It was kind of like the last little stretch of cleaning my body out, getting good blood pumping, fresh air into my lungs. And I went home, man, and it was all history after that.

And what I later learned was sales had nothing to do with it. You could have been doing anything. Exactly. It was the behaviors that I associated with it.
