feb 8, 2012 - EMAIL Johnny Depp Mathias Bouchion

Description:

Not to use this as an excuse at all, because there is none, but my drinking was never for fun. I have been trying to numb and self-medicate my pain for years. My brain has not been right.

After two separate lengthy stays in the hospital to get off alcohol and pills, I know now, after almost two months of sobriety that I was not happy and from the doctor's discoveries that had I continued I was going to die, the liver has had enough. I have been living in a state of constant poison for years. This cannot continue. I need peace. Vanessa needs peace and she deserves to be happy.
