I'm a big fan of your writing skills, but this one was a difficult read because I only want the best for you. Regardless, sharing your struggles and what you have overcome is inspiring to me. You are a beautiful person in so many ways John!!
Although we are connected only via the digital media (and the philosophy that we share through StrongFirst), I wish nothing but the best for your resurgence (not recovery). A thought that has always helped me in life when things get tough --> "Sharpest swords are forged in the fiercest fires". So don't let the fire consume you but let it shape you to become stronger than before. Stay strong and keep moving forward !
Wow John I was moved to tears reading this! I have been really worried about you, a while back I went to share your Instagram profile with a friend to refer you and then realized I couldn't find you. I thought about texting or emailing you many times, but then I found you on here. You truly paved the way for my healing journey to begin and I am forever grateful for you. Thank you for being so vulnerable. You are an amazing human and deserve so much love!!
Thank you! I am doing well - continuing my healing journey mentally, physically, and spiritually, and going through my own sort of rebirth as well. Also still figuring out how substacks work, but I'm so happy to have found you and to know that you are ok! Sending you prayers as you keep marching on :)

Chris, forever and always you will be a special person in my heart! <3

That quote is something I will remember and stand by! Thank you for taking the time Vikas. I appreciate you.
Best of luck.
It takes more strength to do this then pressing a 48kg Kettlebell.
Thank you for your message Yosef. I’m up for the challenge! The social accountability was the thing I’ve been avoiding for many years.
Proud of you man. Hope you continue on this path and are able to inspire others to do the same.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate your words.

Your comment almost made me cry! I am so happy to see you Heather and I hope and pray you're doing extremely well.
