“Fuck no. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. But it was worth it. When something bigger than you—something more significant than your own bullshit—comes into play, it sobers you, and you see things through different eyes. It’s like a storm clearing. Suddenly, every obstacle, every easy way out, paled in comparison to the responsibility I had to be a good dad. There were setbacks, moments of doubt, battles with my own demons. But you find a newfound sense of purpose to get you through it.”
