01 What it was like

Sobriety, to me, is like a relationship. If you don't put in the work then the results will show that.

02 What happened

I went to jail for what was only supposed to be 23 hours. I was there for 4 months and this was my third time. I had my 'ah-ha' moment during church in jail. I fell to me knees and just cried. I surrendered and the feel was so freeing.

03 What it is like now

Today life is amazing, it's truly amazing. I worked my ass off from working for $5.00 an hour to being a partner at a Consulting Firm. I started sharing my story in January of this year at the same jail that saved my life.
