I was the worse kind of addict, a functioning addict.I was so into my addiction at one point that I couldn’t picture myself being able to do anything without some kind of drug. The deeper I got into my addiction, the tighter the lid got on my creativity.When I got sober the lid just came off. In seven months I accomplished more than I could accomplish in three or four years doing drugs. When I came home from the hospital the second time and I realized that I was giving up drugs forever I reached out to Elton cause I knew he had a problem before. I knew he was in recovery and I just wanted to reach out to somebody who was on the same level as far as fame and shit like that go, and just asked him how in the hell he did it. He was really supportive, and still is to this day..
