And I put that lifestyle, I put that whole lifestyle that I had lived, man.

And I started on March 17th of 2013, I started a whole new chapter in my life of recovery.

I never considered it.

So why this?

Why now?

Like, why did I sit there?

Before I never had the option.

Before they never, I never was, I never had the option of doing this before in my life.

I never went down to parole board meeting down the bottom of the halls and they said, we're going to give you a drug program because my stuff, I didn't have those kinds of charges that would make me a drug.

Even though I am 100% addicted and that leads to everything, but my charges were different.

I'm beating somebody up.

I'm getting busted with guns, a GTA and all that stuff.

Those are all my controlling cases.

And I don't know the luck of the draw that came down to it, but like deep down inside me, I was sick and tired of living that lifestyle I was living.

Yeah.

How everything worked out, man, on that parole board meeting, man, it was like maybe something that, that the ways of the system were changing and they wanted, and they wanted people to, and they were, and I don't know, man, I don't have no, I don't have no, uh, I can't tell you, man.

They gave me a program.

They gave me a drug and treatment program.

No, it wasn't.

Yeah, I guess it wasn't.
