Dallas Bragg describes the night he first used meth intravenously and contracted HIV. During his desperate comedown, he realized nothing can be taken from you if you won't let it go, but he wasn't ready to release the drug.
That was also the first time that I used intravenously, and it was also when I contracted HIV. It was all in one little bundle there. And so the emotional spiral that I was on after the comedown, I was just begging, please, please take this, take this, take this from me. I can't live like this anymore. And the answer came to me, and somehow I tuned in or I heard or whatever, or realized that Nothing can be taken from you if you won't let it go, and I wouldn't let meth go yet. I just would not let it go.
