“I was one of those double life guys,” he said. “So many lives, depending on what kick I’m on, depending on what I wanted and what I wanted to take advantage of.
“That’s what it all boils down to: my selfishness. Some people might say that it is not selfish. He gives away so much money. I am still a closed person. I am not present for my children, I am not present for my wife. I’m not treating her right.
“I can’t even explain or articulate it. It’s just a really serious mental problem, not being able to control yourself like an instinctive animal. Skills are needed, and I am very grateful and very fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Brother Seano. There’s no way he would have. She would already be dead.”
