Tell me about a pivotal event that took place in your life that changed your
perception or feeling about something. And it had to have happened within a 24 hour period.

3. Giving birth.
It reminded me that everyone was at one time a helpless baby who deserved to be loved, and if people were awful, it's because they weren't loved the way they should be, and I tried to be more compassionate toward other people.

4. I grabbed a doctors throat during a bronchoscopy and started to choke him...
and they had to strap me down to complete it.

I allowed a work situation to get me so ill, that I needed to get one.

You have to be awake during them, and it was fucking horrible.

I never allowed a work situation to stress my body and get me that sick again.

6. I quit drinking
and because of that decision and that moment I came back to life. That took place in the winter of '81. I'm still alive all these years later because of it, and feelin' fine!
