You gotta talk of like what it was like before, during and after somehow we... always seem to get stuck during the madness, but the fact of the matter is you don't have a lot of after, but gosh it's just been sober a year. I know, but it's been... I like my side of the street is clean, I've done my amends. Now maybe some of the people that I harmed maybe they're not okay, but I've done all I can do. If there's more I can do, let me know and I'll do it, but even my relationship with my daughter seems to be on an upswing. We're celebrating, and I think she's coming. And I think I am that person today and I do it. I don't do it in remorse or like to pay him back, I just feel compelled to do it. I want to make it a better place. - Micheal
