Brian Hazard's Path: From ADHD Struggles to Sobriety and Counseling

I think having all those older guys that couldn't stand me meant that they would just say things in group. Yeah, and you know, I wanted to hit him with a chair, but I embrace that. Bradley Knoll, Kurt Cobain- these guys were super important to me, but the one that I have always been most drawn to and continue to be drawn to because he made it, is Trent Reznor, which that is the ultimate story of redemption.
