Real stories, told by real people.
Nice to be back with you all. Hope this finds you in good spirits. We've got another story to share. Today Justin joins us, and he's got a story to tell.
Growing up in Montana, in small town with a population of about 300 people. Justin enjoyed his childhood, recalling those times when his mother would take him up to the mountains in a jeep. Those were good times. But things would get a little shaky during his teenage years. Rumors began to spread, and false accusations, it got ugly, to the point where Justin was being bullied, harassed, and threatened at school and around town. It would all be too much, facing an angry mob of teens, and out of fear, Justin shut himself off. Dropping out of school, refusing to go out in public, staying inside, and out of sight.
Reflecting back, Justin shares some of his inner dialogue, during those times. His emotions, pain, fears, and even the destructive habits that followed. Heavy drinking, gambling, and depression. Destroying his health, relationships, and motivation to even want to live at one point. Justin eventually hit a wall, and became sick of the person he'd become, and was desperate for change. This lead him to take the steps he felt necessary to get sober, in order to start putting his life back on track. He's now enjoying life on his terms, being creative, free, traveling, and enjoying a healthy relationship with both his daughters. I'm pleased to welcome another GIANT AMONTS US.
Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
