“I could have been drinking a lot of alcohol, gambling too much, leaving the gym, eating crappy food and not socializing. Be miserable. But I did not do it.
He continued, “I didn’t because I used that trauma as energy for life. I surrounded myself with good people, went to the gym EVERY DAY, drank water, swam, laughed a lot and was consistent. One day at a time.
“I can now say that thanks to this, I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. Health is wealth.’
