Rick James told in his memoir, “Glow”.

[pull_quote_center]“I had OD’d in Buffalo and was rushed to the hospital where the doctors quickly brought me back to life. I was kept there for observation. Without warning, I decided to get up and leave. My Mom had come to the hospital to stop me from leaving. When she saw me getting dressed to leave, we got into a yelling match. I pushed my Mom to the floor just to get her out of my way. As I looked down and saw my beautiful little mother on the floor, I knew my life was terribly, terribly wrong. I never forgave myself for that moment.” Amazing![/pull_quote_center]

But he’s by far not the only to suffer and had regrets while on drugs. Just look at Martin Lawrence and George Clinton…
