Chris changed my life. I watched Unguarded a Dozen Times and read his book. I had my 3 Sons watch at 14, 12 and 11 yrs old watch it and I talk to them all the time about Drugs an alcohol. It is a Dead end. Kids never think it will be them. My sister died at 37 who had a masters degree but could never hold a Job. From pills to Cocaine to Heroin. My Parents are a Mess over it. It ruined them for life. I didn’t start until my mid 30’s Never got into into drugs in High-school or years after bc my father talked to me all the time. A back surgery led to a 14 yr addiction to drugs and alcohol and after seeing Unguarded. I am the Man my Wife Married bc I was out of control and literally Dying ! Kids. Anyone offers u anything, walk away and stay away from them. Their not friends and will end up respecting U for it. Believe Me ! Peace !!!

This dude is my idol. 2 1/2 years clean off all mind altering substances. Spent the vast majority of my 20s stealing from family, lying to everybody and becoming a shell of my former self specifically so I could inject heroin. That was my life. Everyday. Wake up , scrape together 20 bucks and pray to god I could get a ride to the plug somehow. What a miserable existence. Even overdosed with my daughter with me. Today I have 50/50 custody of my 7 year old and I’m expecting a set of twins in October 2023. God is good.

I remember Chris Herron stealing the ball and coming down on the break against Hawaii, in Honolulu. He went up so high, cupped it , and slammed it on our shooting guard Alika Smith. Then he checked if Alika was alright and helped him up.. Right then, I knew that this guy was going pro. He had that toughness. He was great! Too bad he carried around all that shit (addiction). Seems like his life would make a great movie. Then again, he might relapse. Ugh!!!!
