On Christmas morning of 2000, I washed down 200 Percosets & 60 doses of Morphine with a pint of gin. Two days later, I found myself on the liver transplant floor of a local hospital. There is an enzyme in you liver called an ALT
the normal count for a healthy liver is 50
my ALT count was 18,000
It still remains a medical mystery how I survived that attempt. I never expected to wake up and I had every intention of dying. Much like a lot of other people who make suicide attempts, what I was really trying to do was end my pain.
