VIDEO – NEVER TOO LATE –
Sept. 13, 2024 – “Yeah, this is cool because I missed all those other ones because I was either high or on probation or drunk,” Mykel told MTN Sports. “So this is definitely cool and something that I enjoy. I started experimenting with alcohol and drugs and then spiraled into addiction. Along the way there were arrests for theft, methamphetamine possession and other infractions.”
It got so bad his brother mentally wrote him off.
“Yeah, I thought that dude was definitely going to be dead. I lived in Arizona for like eight years before he moved down,” Sean told MTN Sports. “He was back in Montana addicted to drugs, like way off the deep end. And I was just completely emotionally not attached to him at all. Like, I thought he was going to die eventually.”
Mykel loved his family, but addiction was in control.
“I didn’t really have much of a serious relationship with anyone in my family during that time. I kind of just kept to myself so I could do what I wanted to do,” Mykel said. “There were ups and downs. I ran a company successfully for a while. There were times when I was homeless and times when I felt really good. But it was a crazy life for sure.”
