And people around me were kind of like, oh, his father just died.

In my mind, I was like, this is a perfect excuse for me to just go double down on it.

And so from 20 to 23, it was just dark, just super dark.

I hated myself, truly hated myself.

People loved me.

They did.

I mean, I am who I am.

I care about humans.

Dying.

And then when the drugs shifted from...

predominantly like alcohol and cocaine to heroin, which was like the last six months of my addiction years, I was genuinely dying.

I didn't think so.

If I really think back on it, like I was still working.

I mean, I always had a job, legit job, always had a job in a restaurant, but I was dying.

late July, summer 2004, New York City.

I was with this woman in this apartment.

We were, you know, using heroin for probably three days straight.

Sleeping, getting up, using, you know.

And...

I had just used some heroin.
