Reply #27: I had always said that once I had a reason to, I'd change my life around..

My way of thinking was that I had no responsibilities, no family waiting at home, no one but me depending on me. I did what I wanted to, when I wanted to and for no other reason than *because* I wanted to. I lived for the moment and didn't care whether I lived of died the next moment.

I was almost 30 when my first child was born, but I started my change the very DAY I found out I was gonna be a daddy... I sold my bike and moved to a new area and made new friends...

It was pure personal redemption, nothing religious about it. I'm atheist in that I don't believe in a "god", "higher power" or "divine interloper/creator", but agnostic because I believe there *is* something more intelligent out there and that we're not alone in this world...

Peace to you, too, bro....
