These are my Confessions...

The speaker yesterday was a successful entrepreneur that lives in Prince George's County, Maryland. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. We play golf from time to time too, well, I play...I not sure what we'll call what he does. LOL! Hey it's my blog...it's like being on stage and having the mic. :) Well, anyway he is a former Crack addict and he detailed his story of how he was a high school basketball player, went to college to play basketball, had never used drugs before college and never had sex before college either. I could have left that out but...it adds to how straight of an arrow he was. He left college as a graduate but also as a drug addict. He talked about hanging with his buddy, who was a drug dealer, after graduation and that he had a plan to sell drugs and invest the money etc.. Hey, he was a Finance major! But he started using his own drugs more and more and moved on to start smoking crack. Any-who, he then spoke about how he hit rock bottom and was standing in an alley in Washington, D.C having smoked his last rock of crack. He told the fellas that he thought about all the things his mother had done for him and that he knew he could do better than that. He took himself home, told his mother that he needed help and day by day he got better and that next month will be 20 years that he's been clean. He acknowledged that he also couldn't have done it without God. He was even a feature on 60 minutes. November 4th, he drove down to Petersburg, Virginia on election day to knock on doors and drive the elderly to the polls to vote. He said, "Man, Obama had to win Virginia", that's why I wanted to do extra. Giving back baby! Thanks for sharing "Bear"! That's his nickname ya'll...
