I've been drinking and using since I was 13.

Dad was just an emotional wreck. He was drinking a lot of the time, he was smoking a lot of pot. And because he takes certain medications, the drinking was making him... you know, he wasn't even present, really.

I took a bottle of pills. I'd been in Europe and I had a lot of absinthe and I was just drinking and drinking, trying to, you know, just shut my body down.

I went to a friend's house and we just started using. I took myself out of the picture for a second, and I looked around at every single person in the room - at who they were, how old they were and what they had going on in their lives. A lot of them were near to 30, unemployed, living off their parents... they were heroin addicts. They were just guys on The World's Biggest Couch Tour.

If I have a problem, stuff's going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
