I was, you know, had been bullied was looking for an escape and when my mom saw, how many of the pills had disappeared and how fast they did? She took him away, locked him up.

Well, that's not even true, like there were times where I'd get certain kinds of pills throughout like 15, 16. I'd still my mom's Xanax, she had a Xanax addiction and like, so it was often on and then at 17 is when it kind of was the first time like I, I tried Coke and like loved it too much and then that kind of blood into me going to treatment like, right when it right after I turned 18.
