“Well, I finally remembered today who I really am. I was the captain of my football team. I was the champ in my eyes. Guys twice my size would come at me and I’d throw them to the ground and get to that Running Back or Quarterback. No one could get in my way no matter how big they were. I had intention! I was stable!

“I lost that along the way. I started letting that other side of me take over. That was the drug addict, the drug dealer. I remembered that my father always told me I would never be anything in my life and that I was a loser. The drugs made me buy into that. I lost my intention. By selling drugs I was hurting people. Then I started hurting myself. So I forgot about that other person, the winner, the one I really am. I convinced myself I was no good. I slowly turned myself into the loser my Dad said I’d always be. I bought into that.

“Well, I don’t believe that anymore. I’m going to be the winner that I really am. I’ve got a dream and that dream is to save all of those lives that I have ruined. I’m going to save lives instead of taking them. The program is giving me my real self back. I’m not giving up on me any more. If I have a problem I’m going to handle it with intention without reservation. I can do anything I put my mind to.

“You’re breeding winners here; you just have to believe it yourself. It might not be easy at first. Just put more intention into it and don’t ever give up. I’m going to move people into a better place in their minds like you have done for me. Thank you to the staff here; I couldn’t have ever come to this place in my mind without you guys. I’m a champ again!”
