And so I said no 10 times, but that 11th offer, I said yes.
And from the very first time I hit a meth pipe, I didn't not smoke meth for three years until I got arrested.
It was just, it was, let's talk about that.
Well, a couple of things.
First of all, it was a performance enhancer before it was a crippling addiction.
I mean, it definitely helped keep me up and helped me focus on things.
But here's a really fascinating aspect of this.
And I learned this in treatment one day.
We were watching a video and it was on something they called the hedonic scale.
And this scale sort of measures somebody's pleasure throughout the course of the day.
So you have Joe is going about the course of his day.
It's a fine day.
His number on the scale is 80.
Now, if Joe's got a hot date with the woman of his dreams that night, his number is 100.
But if Joe takes a hit off a meth pipe, that number is 1,200.
So that's what you're dealing with.
It's like a tremendous...
state of euphoria, and I've found that in treatment, it's incredibly hard to get an addict to not want to experience 1,200 again.
Absolutely.
It was a conscious exercise of mine in the early stages of my recovery where I told myself, look, I got to be able to have fun watching a football game.
