"Every day I thought, “I just wish I had the nerve to kill myself.” I wanted some good dope, or some good drugs so I could just go out in peace. I really wanted to be able to do it. But then I realized I didn’t have the guts. I was just dying slow. I asked God for some answers. I said, “Look, either you’re gonna help me or I’m jus’ gonna kill myself and it’s gonna be your fault.” And the answer just kinda came to me with the voice of God himself: “Get off your fat butt and get on with life. Or go ahead and blow your brains out.” So I got up and moved on."
