My buddy @bobbybaldwin11897 called me yesterday. 5 years ago a judge gave me the option of going to get help instead of sitting in a jail cell dope sick and so they took me to a treatment center where Bobby did my intake. I was 168 pounds and a sad excuse of a human being. I didn’t know many junkies who were able to stop let alone fighters. The reality that I would likely spend the rest of my life an addict was starting to become more and more evident. I remember listening to @jaredflashgordon story on @arielhelwani and it giving me hope. That is why i feel it is my obligation to share a period of my life I am ashamed of. I want to thank my beautiful mother for showing me what unconditional love is and the countless people who told me about the importance of a relationship with God. I am blessed that God removed the obsession from my life and gave me the ability to pursue my dreams. I can honestly say I prayed for the life I live today. Today my parents are proud of me. Yesterday my daughter told me she wanted to be like me when she grows up. How dare I not be grateful ??
