Well done on your sobriety, just keep at it, day by day..I'm 15 years from heroin & crack, as you know it takes work and its a mental health nightmare in itself before we even begin to tackle our reasons for using. I find meditation helps me.

You can unequivocally say, this man never failed. We failed him. None of this should have happened to him. He remained good and fought for a better life through the most harrowing of circumstances. There are movies made of real life heroes who never fought harder or triumphed more than this man has. The heart of a lion.

This is the kinda guy I could take to the pub and listen to his life, introduce him to people and help him regain a sense of worthiness. His voice is so peaceful with a sense of love and caring to it. I could listen to him for a long time. I dont like judging people in general without knowing them, nor criitsising, however, this guy has had it harder than I have, but i can relate to some of his problems. I went through the same too. Blessed be to the guy. Much respect for turning his life around after what hes been through.
