Now, I was on drugs, and that didn't help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tried to give up drugs by drinking.
I took drugs because we all took drugs.
Meeting Chet was a life changing moment for me.
I know I didn't want to get caught up in the cycle of drugs and violence that was around me. Deep down inside, I felt there was something better outside the situation I was in.
Drugs, were a symptom - they weren't the cause of anything.
Drugs made me feel more normal.
Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.
I went into rehab to save my marriage, but I wound up saving myself.
I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.
I didn't do drugs. It wasn't my thing. But the drink was terrible. Today when I look back, it's like I was another person. You could call it a coping mechanism, but that would be an excuse. I just drank too much.
