I want to share a little story with my Facebook friends this morning if you dont mind... About four and a half years ago I went to a pig roast for a local brewery and was attacked and permanently lost the vision in my left eye. It was a ridiculous conflict and it really was a gigantic catalyst for change in my life. So I kept at it and stayed sober (still am) and worked towards my goals. A little while after that I was contacted about doing a story about overcoming addiction with art and positivity, which I am all about so I agreed. I met with a reporter and had an interview which I told what all had transpired. When the reporter found out the whole conflict started over a cigarette the scope of the piece was changed without me knowing until it hit the shelves. I didnt miss a day of work after I lost my eye and the stress built up in me like a giant until I was let go of my position in a local restaurant. I struggled greatly after that, ending up couch surfing and on the streets some nights. My friend who owns the brewery that held the pig roast saw that I was struggling so he offered me a position on the bottling line leading up to a brewers assistant position which helped get me off the streets with a good foot forward. Please, dont allow yourself to feed into negativity and petty shit-talking! If you build each other up you will succeed and have a great community around you. We have an excellent community here in Springsbridge and it breaks my heart when I see folks feed into petty negativity. Thats my story for you this morning, thanks for reading it and have a good day!
