This story is an in-depth look into my life as a teen dad, teen alcoholic, and teen drug addict who dropped out of high school and faced near-death experiences. With no father and no real relationship with my mom, I lived a life of utter destruction but then turned my life around to become an award-winning motivational speaker, morning radio talk show host, red carpet correspondent for an independent filmmaker, husband, and the best dad I can be with twenty years of sobriety under my belt with no relapses.
