I remember telling my wife, I remember her asking me, 'What is it you're going to do now?' When I finally told her really everything I was dealing with and she had her explosion, she said, 'So what are you going to do?' And I said, 'Well, I'm no longer going to live like this. I said, I'm going to do this for me no matter what it takes. Even if that means that I'm living in my parents' basement all by myself and we're divorced and another man is raising my children. I'm done. I'm not living like this anymore.' And she, you know, we separated for a little while and she kind of watched me, you know, to kind of see what I was doing. So I love the language here. I love the dedication. I really, really hope that you've hit your rock bottom and you're now committed to do some real work and some real change.
