He was sick in a bathtub, couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him - and then it landed. This is withdrawal. I’m in withdrawal right now.
He’d gotten high a day before. Now his body was falling apart without it, and for a minute he genuinely couldn’t place the feeling. That’s the moment the whole thing changed.
Because nobody parties planning for the come-down. You don’t get high thinking about what your body’s going to do when it wears off and starts demanding more.
He never did - until he was lying in that tub doing the math on why he felt like he was dy*ng.
That was it. That was the second “I’m just partying” turned into “I’m an addict, and I have a problem.”
