Not true, my friend. I spent 30 years pissing off everyone around me and screwing up a bunch of stuff. Careers. My health. My marriage. My obligations as a father. My relationship with my parents. But now I'm starting anew and people are happy I've turned the corner. The change is like a glorious light we never saw before.

Remember - we didn't know what was wrong. There was something wrong. Why did I drink to a point where I passed out in my driveway? Twice. Why did I threaten someone because I thought they stole my dope? Why did I act like that? I'm not an idiot. We're all good people who have unlimited capacity. I just needed someone who knew the deal to tell me what was up.

There is redemption.
