But he has a successful RU-vid channel that doesn’t glamorize the life, has written books, does community outreach, etc. If he ever feels guilty or regretful of his past, I think anyone would agree he has at least made the best possible attempt at rectifying his wrongs with his positive character arc.

I'm at 10 years way to go! I didn't need to drink I just went to parties and what not at least every other day sometimes every night others just the weekends. It depended who I was around. Then I just traded alcohol for painkillers, my body was hurting a lil bit by that time. After working at the same job of 10 years. I got laid off but still took pills still. I ended up going with a small group of my friends who worked for a guy with a big reputation and ran the illegal gambling in our state so I went with him and made a lot of money. He let my friend who brought me in go and made me take him home and gave me his route of slots. I fixed it up to make alot and was in good then and lived like a Rockstar. I made a little empire of knowing different people getting different pills and had the money and bought em all up with a full blown opioid addiction I'm still fighting. We ended up getting raided my best friend took over he got greedy and lost my best friend and left on bad terms too. Now I'm happy with my ol lady and my dogs living legit, having gotten out of that with no charges luckily! I'm still battling with that addiction every day but living and thanking God for that second chance!

This is almost something out of a great crime movie but as real as it gets.
