People go through life like a pinball, right? And they don't understand the effect they have on other people and other people have on them and the paradigms that are created through their childhood and trauma. They really don't understand why they keep not making it to where they want to go. I just started paying attention, so much so that I didn't even speak for a month, just so I could listen.

But prison wasn't the end for Reuel; it was the beginning of a remarkable transformation. During his time behind bars, Reuel embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. He immersed himself in self-improvement programs like 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People' and even started a newspaper called 'The Serving Times'.
His dedication to bettering himself and his community within the prison walls is nothing short of inspiring. Upon his release, Reuel faced the daunting task of reintegrating into society. Despite the challenges, he applied the principles he learned in prison to navigate this new world. Today, Reuel is a peer coach and advocate for sober living, using his experiences to empower others on their recovery journeys.
