The article is from 2010 but I thought it worth sharing
A punk rock star (The Go-Go's) from the 80's tells a story of a 3 day hotel binge in London that turned her life around.
Quote:
'I had gone to London for business, but spent three straight days locked in my hotel room, doing cocaine,' she writes.
'I went on the biggest binge of my life, which is saying something considering I had used, boozed, and abused for 30 years.
'When I looked at my eyes in the mirror, I didn't see anyone looking back at me. The lights were out. I was gone.
'It scared me - yet I didn't stop until I had an extraordinarily frightening out-of-body experience where I saw myself overdosing and being found dead in the hotel room.
'I saw the whole thing happen, and I knew that if I kept doing coke, I was going to die.
'At that moment I shut my eyes, and when I opened them again I made the decision I had put off for much too long. I opened myself up to life. I appreciated the good, faced the bad, and began to find the things I needed'
