What was said

"There's just something in me that just wanted to completely burn my life to the ground every time I drank, you know, a real destructive quality. I woke up and she left in my bus. She was like, you can fucking figure it out, man."

King opened up about his battle with alcohol, describing how he would sabotage himself whenever he drank, with thoughts like "you don't need anybody, fuck everybody." After getting sober for six months, he convinced himself he could handle drinking again, got blackout drunk at a show, and his wife left him stranded without his wallet or ID. He has been sober for a year and a half since that incident and credits his wife with not tolerating his destructive behavior.
