Quotes by Don Walin (?)

“The drugs kicked in immediately, and I felt the effects of the heavy sedatives very quickly. I tried to fight them off, but they took a very strong hold over my mind and body. That’s the last thing I remember for three days.”

“Being behind bars is a degrading and humiliating experience. And I deserved to be there. I had to pay the consequences for driving drunk and causing an accident. In the end, I got off really lucky.”

“I was really into this caddying job and on a natural high. Unbeknownst to me, I was showing symptoms of mental illness for the first time. I didn’t have a clue that I was
becoming progressively more manic as the day went along.”
