Same here. I hope the guys does well. Ran into lots of rocky shoals, but has since kicked the drugs and bad habbits, and is making a go of it - very cool.

Awesome story. I saw a video clip of him yesterday and it's hard not to be moved by his story and his attitide about everything. I hope he's hugely successful and the radio work leads to bigger and better things. If he stays clean, he could end up being a pretty good motivational speaker.

Here is a link of him on the Today show. He sounds like a very grateful man. Quite the story.

I noticed one overwhelming attribute that works well in his favor: He is very humble and polite. He constantly responds to Katie with "Yes M'am and No M'am" and he never blamed anyone else but himself for his troubles.
I wish him success in his future.

Is this really news, it's a crap story and pisses me off
I guess if your a drug addict and lose your job because of it you can't pay your bills then lose your house, of course he's clean now he has no money to buy drugs.
this is a joke, there are alot of single moms with kids that are homeless and they don't make the news, does anyone else see something wrong with this?

The guy was open and up front about his past on the Today show this morning. He answered the questions quite honestly about his drug and alcohol problems and his criminal history which he used to support his addictions.......also claims to be clean and sober for 2 years I think he said?? You don't believe people deserve a second chance??

No I do believe he should get a second chance, I just don't care about him and don't think it's news worthy

It's kinda funny how it went down for sure. I don't disagree with your view Bob.
Look at Octomom

It's about redemption..
Without the hope of we are all lost. Without which there is no hope. We must believe that there is recovery from our faults and stumbles. We must believe in hope. When we say "eff him, he effed up" we say the same about ourselves. And more.
|
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
