"All those years at Shaboo — my job was to procure drugs for the bands. I was good at it. I'm a salesman. After that, it got ugly. I sold out and all the money I got from selling out, I owed to the coke dealers, plus some. I got $50,000. I owed the coke dealers $80,000. I had my father's restaurant for a year. I snorted that. I lost that. I was pretty down and out. Then my little sister died. I had a 3-year-old daughter. I had a bad marriage. I went on a six-day bender. I woke up and said, 'No more.' I went and got therapy. I had tried like eight different times to kick it. I couldn't. Jan. 25, 1988. I stopped. Never touched it again. Never had a drink or any coke again."
