Anybody can get bigheaded once they know the seat cannot be pulled out from under them.

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.

Why can't we all just get along?

As far as having peace within myself, the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.

I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.

Waking up sober is a good day. I love being able to wake up and do positive things, to go to the gym.

I sometimes feel like I'm caught in a vise. Some people feel like I'm some kind of hero. Others hate me.
