Really awful news, Scott. May you and the family find comfort and strength in the kind words and deeds of others.

 

 

Thanks John means a lot.

 

I think lately I have been overloading my plate and the stress is why I have been getting sick easy.

 

You definitely have the forums covered. Thanks so much. You guys mean a lot to me.

Hey guys,

 

It has been a looooong week. I caught a nasty bug and was out for the count from Friday until Monday.. it was horrible. Fever, diarrhea, headaches, the whole SHA-BANG. It always takes so long to "refuel" after a sickness like this. It feels like your whole body is depleted. I ended up missing my friend Bret’s wedding Saturday and my Grandma’s Birthday on Sunday.

 

On top of that, I had my friend Jack here for two days to film my first 30 day workout program. It was a struggle, but we got it done and I can’t wait for you all to try it. It is a serious muscle building program. Complete with meal plan guidance as well!

 

But today Erica and I had to go to a funeral. My cousin died on Sunday from a bad shot of heroin.

 

We had no idea he was even trying this drug. He wasn't a "loser" or a kid without a path in life. In fact, he loved to travel, had a great job, lots of friends, was the first person to offer help if you needed it. A great kid, his birthday would have been tomorrow, he would have been 23.

 

I think when you are young you think you are invincible and can try things, even if you think it will be just once. A drug like Heroin though, you are addicted from the first time you take it. INSTANTLY, and you will always need more.

 

It’s brutal and I hope that if you can take away anything from my loss, it is that you never try drugs or if you know someone who is you get them the help they need.

 

When someone dies so young, it destroys a family and you never really pick up all the pieces.

 

I know lots of you have been sending messages and I wasn’t I the forums much this week. I should be back on track after tonight.

 

Thanks for always being such a wonderful community.

Yes indeed........stress and alcohol are the two things that will slow your immune system and make you vulnerable. I have found that when you have 10 things or more that you feel MUST be done immediately upon further examination only 3 of them really need to be done now and the rest can wait :-)

 

Hang in there man :-)

 

John

Wow Scott that's so bad to hear that. I'm sending my condolences to you and your family.

Lets hope this message will reach some people that would might take risks and it will help them!

I think when someone get into the fitness journey, automatically it rejects bad and unnecessary substances such as narcotics and in this way you're not just teaching fitness to the world, but also give a good and healthy alternative to people and keep them away from troubles.

Keep doing this holy work and be healthy and strong bro! Welcome back

Sorry to hear that man. Thoughts go out to you, Erica, and the rest of your family. It's amazing how often it's the people you least suspect are the ones that are struggling.

 

Good to hear you are recovering though, hope you are back to full strength soon!

 

#HTH!

Sorry for the loss buddy. It's tough losing a family member and you guys are in my thoughts. I lost an ex and a friend to drugs in my lifetime and it's not easy.

My condolences. That's really sad.
