The advice that I would give somebody that's struggling with drugs and alcohol or any kind of abusive behavior is you have to be tired. You have to be tired of wanting to get help and change. The advice I would say, and usually I say this when I'm out on the streets talking to people, is are you tired yet?

Because if you're not tired, you got one more run in you, one more hit in you, then, you know, you're not going to fully surrender.

So you tell them that, right? You say, if you're not tired, you don't know what's coming next. And sad to say, some of our guys that went into our recovery home, they go out, they think they got one last run in them. Gone after that fentanyl hit. That's right. Gone. And it's not the same dope like it was before. This fentanyl thing takes you out. You're done.

When you're humble, doors open up. God, you know, is a friend to the humble. He opposes the proud, but gives more grace to the humble. And, you know, that grace comes when you're humble. And sometimes, you know, you said, you know, saving face and protecting yourself and all that, that's... You got to drop your guard sometimes.

What keeps me grounded is just the people that I'm around with. My wife keeps me grounded. My wife keeps me grounded. He who finds a wife finds favor with the Lord. And man, she's amazing. You know, she keeps me grounded. And just being around her, it's just real. And everything is, all the noise is gone. You love her kids just like they're yours. Oh, yeah. Every day I'm praying for them.
