The collective love for music and poetry and just the brotherhood of sound. And it's still kind of flowing through me and I attribute that to the team.

Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator.

When you start putting pen to paper, you see a side of your personal truth that doesn't otherwise reveal itself in conversation or thought.

The fact that I was a junkie for a long time is only one slice of my own personal pie, which is made up of a lot of different slices.

I was starting to come to grips with the fact that I had created a lot of pain and suffering around me, not just within me.

I had seen these transformations, people who had lost their will to live, coming back from their zombie states and radiating a new life force from their eyes.

I had not had any drugs for 5 years but then I relapsed again. I have also smoked nearly everything. Every day it was a battle to recover, which I fought for my son and myself.
