Taylor Kitsch (42:30)
No, I knew. I knew. Like, with the seals, they had fentanyl patches for the pain. And then of course, like. But that's really all I fucking if that. Like, obviously I educated myself on it after, and it's 20 to 25 times worse than heroin. It's a deathbed drug, put you to sleep. And so I got this call and I'm like, I'll get her sober in two weeks, bring her down, like, hero mode. And she comes and. I had no idea what was going. And she had used right before she flew. And so she was in withdrawal. Oh, God is right, man. And your muscle contractions are so bad that I had this little one bedroom apartment in Marina del Rey, 15, like literally a hallway from here, about this long actually. And it's late and she's just pacing because she can't sit still because the muscle contractions are so bad. And I'm like, shells, just take, go to bed, take my bed and just try and sleep. She's like, no, no, no, no, you don't understand, I have to move. And so she tried sleeping, going, laying down. Muscle contractions are so bad. She fell off the bed. And I'm like, okay, let's go for a walk. And the beauty of our relationship and what I think was a huge factor in getting her clean was the transparency. Like, you gotta fucking be real with me. Tell me when you used, tell me how often, like everything she did, which is so tough to hear. And so we ended up walking down Abbot Kinney at three in the morning and no one's obviously out there and we just did this crazy walk and talk and I'll never forget it. And it's just heartbreaking. And I get her and I call. I don't even know if she needs to detox. So I call the hospital, Marina del Rey, and they're like, no, we don't take anybody that's using right now. You. They have to be detoxed and we may be able to help them after. So I'm like, okay, what the is okay? We got, got a detox. And so I call this place and they're like an hour away. And she's like, I have a bed for her and bring her at 6:00am I got this little wrangler, a two door wrangler. And she's in the back seat, my mom in the front, and she's like almost kicking the glass out because the muscle contractions of my jeep and I was like, holy. Like such a wake up call that I had no idea it was this bad. So reality's kind of setting in. And she kept asking for methadone. I want methadone because she had detoxed before on methadone. And. And so I go to this house and I knock on the door and she's in the back seat, she's got her little backpack, and it's this woman, like butchy, in like presence. She opens the door, she's like, just a matter of fact, where's your sis? And I'm like, oh. She's grabbing her bag, she's like, well, Bring her here. I'm like, okay, Shells, let's go. She comes, and Shells is like. Like, I need. Doesn't say hi, nothing. She's like, I need methadone. And she goes, well, when did you use? Blah, blah, blah, and all this? And she tells her, and she's like, oh, you haven't even bottomed out yet. We don't treat drugs with drugs here, honey. You're gonna. You're gonna have some Gatorade and some topical muscle relaxer, and you're gonna sweat this out and show it's funny now, But Shelby goes to her knees, and she's like, I need methadone. She goes, no, no, no. What did I just say? And she's like, you getting Gatorade? Muscle relaxer. And you're gonna watch some movies and you can smoke, no phone. She was incredible. Four and a half days later, she called me, and she's like, your sister's good. Bring her to a sober living. Just by Venice high. And it's 30. Like, when someone's almost ready to go, you're. I'll do anything. Right? And they know this. And so it's 30,000 for the month, and it's sober living. You'll have one session, which isn't enough because she has some trauma and with a psych. And I was like, one in 30 days. One every week.
