I realized I didn't want to die... I need to be there. I don't want somebody to say, 'He pretty much loved drugs more than he loved you.' That's not true. People that have gone through that, I know that's not true.
Have you ever felt like life keeps throwing curveballs your way? Matthew Johnson sure has. In this episode of The ARCast, Matthew opens up about his rocky path from addiction to recovery.
