Did you ever figure out that you could sign off on your own meetings? I didn't. Back then it was, yeah. We had pagers back then, you know, so things were a little different then. And then after, you know, the whole year of that 12 months, went to my last meeting. They signed off on it. I walked out of the meeting, called my buddy, picked me up in his Z28 Camaro.

Actually, it was an IROC, an IROC Z. Picked me up. We bought an eighth of weed. I took my easy widers. I rolled up a joint. And that was it. And I never looked back.

Something didn't really like click with that.

Someone's telling me that for every single day for a year. And so I never really bought into that. What I did buy into is that I needed a kick in the ass. I needed somebody to pump the brakes.

I don't know where I would have went after that, but I knew that the path I was on, I needed a kick in the ass. And rehab and the outpatient halfway house and the meetings, all of that, 100% saved my life.
