I was riding around with a few of my friends to make a drug deal and had a busted headlight that I didn’t fix because I was so addicted to painkillers and selling drugs.
The cops pulled me over and my heart sank into the pit of my stomach because I was so scared of what was to come.
They searched the car and found everything. The money. The drugs. The scale. I was arrested that night and charged with a felony (possession with intent to distribute marijuana)
I went to court several months later and on October 21, 2008 I started a 90 day jail sentence that would change my life forever. Behind bars, I met my cellmate who introduced me to fitness and it literally saved my life from the depths of addiction.
Since then, the felony has come off my record and my life personally and professionally has completely transformed.
I share this to give people hope that are in their “darkest hour” right now.
The light will come. Don’t give up on yourself. Keep moving forward.
