I wanted to tell you I appreciate what you do and thank you for sharing your story, as I imagine it was hard for you. I saw a lot of parallels between what you said and what I have lived. I have had a "problem" in the past, but because of god and people like yourself, my life was saved. So thank you for your honesty, and thank your for caring enough to talk the time out to do what you do. God bless.

When my coach told us we had to go to another drug & Alcohol speech, I immediately thought it was going to be another boring same ol same ol. But, to my surprise it definitely wasn't. You did an outstanding job getting the point across with a comedy twist! I really enjoyed it. It's really great what your doing! Keep it up! =] Bernie,

Even though I was only able to attend the last half of the event, I feel as I caught the most important part. I'm not exactly sure why, but your story really hit home to me. I feel as if I could be on the same track that you were once on, and that is a scary feeling. Seeing what kind of person you have turned yourself into in the past 21 years is one of the most inspirational things I have ever experienced in my entire life. It allows me to see that even though one may think that they are too far into some of the bad things in their life to turn things around, but really it is never too late! You have shown me that there is always a more positive way to go, and all it takes is hard work and dedication! Overall, your presentation (like I said, even though I only experienced half of it) was exactly what I needed in my life! I could never thank you enough for the message I walked away with! God Bless you & your family, and I look forward to hearing/seeing you again some day soon! I would have never thought that I would walk away from this experience with the message that I did.
