What it was like?

I felt very empty and I knew if I didn’t change that I would be dead soon. I attempted suicide 1 Year before and failed, Thank God, I am here today due to Gods Grace.

What happened?

I was sitting in a bar in Rock Hill, SC and I said to myself, I’m done, I went and told my boss I needed help, I went to the VA Hospital that next day.

What it is like now?

Being Sober is Awesome, I have lost 60lbs in 12 years, I was at 240 lbs and I was not healthy at all. I give all the credit to God and my Friends that have helped me thru this journey
