“I worked two 8-hour shifts daily, plus 2 hours of travel … I slept about 3 hours, and worked 7 days a week. During my late 40s, I started to put some crystal meth, a powerful stimulant, in coffee; it was ‘electric coffee.’” Richard also smoked cigarettes (2-3 packs a week) from age 28 until 32; then he stopped. However, “crystal meth was very important.”
