I'm 37 dude, but while I'm being honest and really trying to set the record straight here, I have one more "bomb to drop" and yeah my haters are gonna love this one, coz they can certainly try and use it to put the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Ok, so here it goes... I wasn't away from hard and regular training for over 8 years because of female influence and power over me, I was away because of this little nasty disease called alcoholism. You see, I drank hard and heavy for nearly 6 years straight, but now that my Higher Power who has released me from this enslavement, I'm free from it as I've been sober for a little over 1 year now, and that's all behind me now. No, I'm not making excuses here, or even looking for sympathy, I'm just trying to come clean.
