And I don't know, man, I always had that ability to sort of see through the shot, see through the line. You know, if someone put a line of coke in front of me back in the day, I might do one.

But then I think about the other and I kind of have that... It's not that I didn't want to do it and that I didn't see kind of what was good and what felt good about it, but I was able to sort of see... well, let's jump ahead 24 hours, 48 hours, and think about the cost, the hangover, the self-loathing, the self-disgust, the bad choices that start to accumulate.

And I think about that because it's not any super human quality. It's nothing that I take credit for and be like, oh, I can do this. any more than I think most of the addicts that I know suffer.

It's a disease, I believe. And I'm fortunate that I don't think I have it. Yeah. And do you? Have you experienced it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Is that common knowledge? Forgive me for not knowing.
