_{After Jenny and I saw that thing it got pretty bad for a while. She was sent to the institution and I did a lot of stupid things to try and shut it all out. Drugs… me and this guy I was seeing broke into a pharmacy. Cop car pulls up, guy bolts, just gone, and this sheriff steps out the cruiser. I was thinking, “That’s it, I’m going to jail. My life is over.” But instead of taking me to jail, he takes me to a diner. He orders apple pie and says: You know what I love about apple pie a la mode? Where the warm, crunchy crust comes together with the smooth, frozen ice cream. And in about five minutes, all the ice cream melts and becomes a warm soupy mess. When that happens, we’re leaving. So you got five minutes to decide if you’re gonna change your life, or if I’m taking you to jail. So I changed, right there.}
