Don't Let Drugs Control You
Transcript
You don't control the drugs, if drugs control you, you're in trouble. I had a drug induced at the coast where I I spun out of control, trashed this worse. I jumped out of a window and threw tier onto my head into a bush, into a tree, into the ground or something. I was shattered best ten, t twelve vertebra and my lumbar. Bad all sorts of lacerations in this arm, like glass that best through. There's a period of time that I disappear. It was after that where I realized I woke up in a hospital, and I was like, oh, I'm not okay. Like, I have to address that. Something needs to be addressed. I was in the loop, like, denial. I thought, like, you know, I can manage myself. I can... I'm alright. I ostracized myself a little better. Like, no. It's this. It's bad. Like, that's why, like, it can really mess things up with your family and your relationships and everything. Like, you can get really, really fucked up relationships and family and business and everything. The drugs will ruin your life if you let them.
