The withdrawls were also so bad that he would continue to take drugs so that he wouldn’t have to go through it again after he had relapsed. Nic explained, “Actually, we never stopped taking the Klonopin, Xanax, and Suboxone because otherwise we’d go into withdrawls”. Therefore, it is clear that once the drugs start to leave their bodies, they begin to feel intense pain. This goes well with the song “I feel like dying” by Lil Wayne when he says “Only once the drugs are gone. Then I feel like dying” because when Nic is on drugs, he has no worries in the world and is pretty content with life.
