In this personal monologue, Dallas Bragg shares a vivid memory of tying a tourniquet around his arm, wiping away tears, and confronting the intense conflict between his desire not to inject and his body's compulsion to use. He frames this moment as the gap between a heartfelt decision to quit and the physical urges that follow, describing it as a natural, even positive, sign that the mind is moving toward recovery. Bragg offers reassurance that regardless of what the senses or recent use may tell you, making a sincere decision in the heart puts you on the path out of addiction, providing comfort and encouragement to listeners who may be experiencing similar urges.

You know, I remember once tying the tourniquet around my arm and then taking that same arm and wiping the tears from my eyes as I did it. In my heart and in my soul, I didn't want to. I didn't want to stick a needle in my arm, but my body wouldn't stop. This is the transition between a heart decision and your physical body catching up to it. This happens. It's a good sign. And I want you to be comforted to know that no matter what the five senses are telling you, no matter if you just used five minutes ago, when you make that decision in your heart, you're on your way out.
