In early 1990 life for the grunge guitarist would change dramatically once cocaine came into his world.As a result Damon Johnston would live to tell the story of the many countless drug over doses.Surviving a 85 mile per hour car crash while being chased by police.Being beaten unconcious with a car jack over a drug deal gone bad as well as held at gunpoint and knife point in a motel all for the sake of drugs.Being homeless due to drug abuse and the horrors that were created as a result of this drug and the nightmares you live even after sobriety.This album shares some of these past horrors lived and survived.Save Me From Myself is a reflection into the world of hard core drug abuse in the darkest of moments
