Coming from where I have been
to where I am is nothing
short of 10 miracles.
(chuckles)
Oh, that's an understatement.
I mean, I don't mean to make light of it
but if you guys knew
the things I was doing
when I was in my addiction
and
the havoc that I caused
compared to the person
I am today, you know,
I feel so much better
about who I am today.
Before I was running and
hiding and scared of who I was.
I was running and hiding from
not only what happened to me.
I was running and hiding
from what I've done
to other people.
I was running and hiding
from what other people might do to me.
You know, all I did was run and hide.
Now today I can face my wife.
I can have a disagreement
today and not raise my voice.
I can face my children
today when things get hard
and a boyfriend breaks
my daughter's heart.
I get to be there for her today.
You know,
because I've learned
how to work through this
and learned who I am
and I've become something different.
You know, I am me today.
I'm me,
like, that's the biggest
word I can use today, is
I'm me.
I'm not the me that was hiding.
I'm me.
And I love that today.
