And given, because of where I grew up, I knew, I grew up with the idea that, hey, your government is not your friend. They're not for you. The people are for each other. And authority, normally, they don't have your best interests at heart. And for that reason, I started working for him.

Great question. Okay, so I'll start with the most important thing. The biggest first step that I took in doing that was taking absolute responsibility for my life.

It was just a horrible relationship. And it pushed me to a point to go, okay, what am I doing that I keep creating these situations in my life? I'm the one who chooses to pick up a cigarette and smoke it. I'm the one who's choosing to have a drink. I'm the one who's choosing... this kind of a person to be in a relationship with.
