"It took a lot of energy to be a drug addict," he says. "It was work to get drugs every day. I got to a point in my life where I wouldn't do anything that required a lot of trouble. The idea of going on tour was something I would have never considered before, because touring is a lot of potential trouble, and I tried to put myself in environments where I would feel safe. In my own little small crack house of my Nashville community, it felt safe and everything else had become too much trouble."
