VIDEO – AND SO CAN YOU –
Aug. 8, 2024 – It’s 84 degrees, and 27-year-old Brody Williams is running in pants. But he’s not here to make a fashion statement, he feels lucky to be alive.
“So it started for me when I was probably about 12 years old … My dad was never really in my life a whole lot,” Brody said. “We started doing drugs together, which, you know, was kind of nice. Because at some point I was like, ‘Hey, I’m finally getting my father’s attention and affection.’”
Deep down, Brody knew it wasn’t the right path. He started drinking at 12, and it only escalated from there.
“By the time I was in high school it was crack cocaine and, heroin and, you know, more serious drugs,” Brody said.
After years of rehab, relapses and prison stints, he had a breakthrough.
“I just kind of got tired of it all. It’s easy to say, ‘Hey, I love you,’ but when my actions don’t reflect that, I get tired of living my life feeling like a burden, because all I do is take from everybody,” Brody said of when he got sober.
