It's just not an option to go back for me...I really hit a bottom. There was no more money to pay for more rehabs. For me it was a huge problem and I just really had an epiphany sweeping the streets, which was sort of like: wait a second, like. Could it be, you know, and I turned out and I decided it would be before I even wrote the book.
