But I want you to tell- I'm going to have told the story, and I've heard you tell before about the progression of not caring, about what sort of condition you're in when you were, when you're driving that vw, I think over in Hawaii, and you said at first you were very scared kind of driving down the road.
Imagine living a life where blackouts and benders are the norm, and the idea of ending it all feels like a viable escape. That was Clay D's reality.
