Came the Percocets. Came that whole chestnut. I think the last prescription he gave me was 150 Percocets, and it was two every four hours. I hid them in a chip bag so the cousin wouldn't take my pills, and that came that addiction. 18:23 - Well, it was empowering. The addiction to sex then sort of came out of feeling so awful about everything else every time I went out, which was quite a bit. I would meet somebody, bring them home, preferably married. There's a towel. There's the shower. Go home to your wife. You don't need to know my name. You don't need to know anything about this. I felt so empowered.24:25 - They would understand why you were the hot mess you were back then. I also feel like with you, when I first met you, you were larger than life, but I feel like you felt you had to stay that way or people weren't going to like you.
