Chapters
Randell, you said you want the truth, but the reality is you're not really being honest with yourself. You're right. Yeah. And the honest, if you were to be honest with yourself, you would say, I do have a drug and alcohol problem. And though I've tried to stop, I don't have the strength to stop. And it is not only hurting me, it's hurting her. And really at the truth of the matter is, and I can see this, that something happened in your early teens to 20s that is affecting you and that you don't wanna face. And I don't know what it is. And to mask that pain and to hide it, you have been using drugs and been trying to just break it down. And anytime you get sober, it comes back up. I see your eyes welling up, so I know it's true. You're still fighting the world and you're taking most of that pain out on the woman who's been by your side for 24 years.
