In this brief excerpt from his YouTube video, Dallas Bragg recounts how chronic injection drug use and severe sleep deprivation led him into a state of psychosis. He describes vivid auditory hallucinations, such as hearing different genres of music streaming directly from his showerhead, and how he eventually became so accustomed to these hallucinations that he would laugh and dance along. Bragg reflects on the way he grew comfortable with his psychosis, recognizing it as a trap tied to his addiction. He ends on a hopeful note, asserting that if he could reduce his shooting habit from three to four times a day, others can also overcome their own drug dependence.

I remember getting in the shower, and every day I would get in the shower, I would hear a different genre of music coming directly from the showerhead. I got so used to it that I just laughed and danced along. You know, sometimes it would be Sometimes it would be Madonna, sometimes it would be Foo Fighters, and it was just as plain as day coming out of the showerhead. And when you get to the point where you get comfortable with psychosis, you laugh at psychosis, you're trapped. You're trapped in this drug. If I can overcome shooting up 3 to 4 times a day, you can overcome.
