Houston rapper Sauce Walka has recently decided to quit lean after seven years of addiction, and today he took to Instagram to share a triumphant update on his journey so far. From the look of it, he appears to be undergoing somewhat of a mental and physical transformation, though the going has not been without difficulties -- as he tells it, the process kicked off with twelve days of painful withdrawal symptoms.
"Day 1 after 12 Days of #Withdrawls PAINNN & #Detox ... From 7 consist years of drinking #Liquid HERION aka “ DRANK," he captions, in a lengthy Instagram update. "Nothin Less then a 6-10 ounces of daily direct consumption... Nearly a decade of Drug abuse & 5 million wasted dollars."
