but this time around I’m staying straight in that – you know beforehand I did it with – we’d get the whole scenario in smoking marijuana, then I’ve went into xhospital, got detoxed all of you know, and this time what I’m doing I’m going through it straight. Because I’ve understood what I did it then and that

Learning his lesson (Theme)

This time around now that you guys have – I believe in you guys and that because I didn’t understand it beforehand, and this time around you know straight you know, even alcohol I might just have a couple of beers a week.
