I think I've been doing that over and over and over, you know, rinse and repeat. But I believe that my first really big life bottom was when I was 25 and it was 19 years ago where I was really struggling with alcohol and drug addiction.

And at the time I was running a business here in New York City where I was representing nightclubs and really in the scene and really thinking that that was what life was about, right? Yeah. seen having president on my business card, getting past the velvet ropes, like just the bullshit. I was also 25, 20 years old.

That is important at that time, I suppose. But for me, it was a blessing that I hit such a hard bottom so fast because my drug of choice was cocaine. So using cocaine will take you down. And thank God I was using it then and not now. I mean, I would have been dead. Definitely would have been dead. Yeah. So that drug took me down.

And I, even when I was using, always had stacks of self-help books next to my bed. And I would always be reading spiritual texts and really wanted another way of perceiving the world. But obviously that was the opposite of where I was. And I remember I was at this after hours party right before I got clean. And there's people in my apartment. I was like in this like one room studio apartment.

It was like so dingy. Trash was outside the window. It was awful. And I was looking at these people and I'm like, I'm going to be a motivational speaker and a self-help book author. And they were like, nice fucking try. And...

i i realized that because i would look at those books i knew that there was something more for me i knew it i felt it psychically i just i had a call and by the grace of god i made the decision we talked about this earlier it's you know getting sober is about making a decision to choose a different path and on october 2nd of 2005 i asked for a miracle i was like i need a miracle

And then I heard an inner voice say to me, get clean and you will live a life beyond your wildest dreams. Wow. And that's the path I chose.

no matter what you're facing, and that was just one of many bottoms to come. There was definitely difficult moments, as we all experience. Of course. Difficult moments in my life. And in each of those moments that I see as these opportunities to transcend or an opportunity to detour in the right direction, I would say to anyone, all you need to change is the slightest willingness to change.

And it's the folks who don't have that willingness or they are often it's too scary, right? People are saying like, well, I don't want to have to do what it takes to make that healing happen. Yeah. And that's why I really believe that healing should happen slowly.
