I started out making skateboard videos. Soon, it dawned on me I just wasnt that great at skateboarding. So I put down the skateboard and just kept going with the camera.

Let's just say that I've had my heart broken more than once, and never learned a thing.

The first thought that I had about really trying to get sober was, 'Man, I could do a lot of good in the world. I can lead by example and just be this heroic recovery guy.' And that's just a bad reason to get sober. You can't get sober for anybody's benefit, let alone the world at large. You really got to do it for yourself.

Regardless of anyone’s dietary motivations, the healthiest lifestyle is the one that’s most compassionate.

Almost as soon as I went vegan, people started telling me that my skin looked great, and that I appeared younger, slimmer, and healthier. I'm convinced that of all the changes I've made to my lifestyle, it's the adoption of a vegan diet that has been best for me - physically, mentally, and certainly spiritually.

I think it's important for me to show the world that sobriety hasn't made me soft. I'm on a mission to prove I'm still a nutcase.
