Like on your second one, you're not allowed to just go to the hospital and then, you know, go through, go to a walkthrough on your second one. I had to go... This is where I wish I wouldn't have blown or done anything and just gone to Irving Jail and just set it out. Because I had to go to county jail, which is Lou Starrett. And Lou Starrett, Dallas Jail is talked about because...

of what a crazy condition jail that is. It was not a fun time, even though it was only a night. I got out of there and immediately told my attorney, I was like, I don't care what you have to do, but I don't want to go back to jail. I'll pay bukuza money, be on probation for much longer. I don't want to go back to jail. And to spend three days in there, No, like I can't do it.

And he was like, okay, you know, it's going to be more probation time, which I took. So I didn't have to serve the three mandatory days in jail because I would rather be on probation for six months than spend three days in jail. And I know that's crazy to hear, but I hated jail. Like it was crazy.

The worst, like, physical and mental wake-up call that I had ever had, like, sure, getting fired from that job was the worst wake-up call in the mental sense of, like, me caring about everything that I had lost. But going to jail for that was – and especially in county jail – So awful. I like they don't give you anything.

So I just kept on asking for like bologna sandwiches and I piled them up and like would sleep on bologna sandwich. They put us like all in this one cell for like three hours where we were just all together in this one cell with just like benches on it. and just like no direction, no, which obviously I don't, you don't need direction in jail, but it was just such an alarming, like,

environment for me to be in. So that was my second DWI. So after my second DWI, I was working at the place where I met my husband and I was also living with one of the daytime bartenders and we worked only mornings together. It was a great little setup. She drank about as much as I did too. And she had been to the hospital multiple times for pancreatitis.

So she understood, we understood each other on a really deep level because we had both experienced being sick from alcohol and the effects that alcohol had on us. And the reason I moved out was because she got pregnant and moved into her own house. And then she got pregnant a second time. And I heard that she was still drinking, but like not near as much, not to the point of like hospitalization.

Yeah. And then the... Three days before Thanksgiving in 2022, we got a call that said, Ashton's in the hospital. She went in because she thought it was pancreatitis again. It's not. She needs a new liver. We found a new liver for her. She'll be getting a new liver, which I was shocked because Ashton was not secretive about her drinking. They knew that's why she needed a liver.

But then also she was a mom of two. And again, this was my roommate. This was my little drinking buddy. This was somebody I'd been very close with. And they said, you know, she's going to get a new liver tomorrow. She just has to make it through the night and we'll be fine. We get a call the next day, which happened to be on Thanksgiving Day. And she had passed.

All the toxins had spread to her brain and everything just took over. And she passed away, left her home. Two-month-old and two-year-old. That's what she left behind, and her husband, too. He was also in the service industry. It was an extremely sad funeral. That's probably the first funeral I've ever been to that I've cried so hard and really felt that. And also, it being...
