But he also went on to speak more in length about his tribe: "I’m just so blessed I had so many things to live for, I have a giant family, a 10-year-old daughter."
"I would have disappointed and really messed up a lot of people’s lives if I would have passed. I’m also pretty stubborn, there’s a lot for me to fight for and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind and my recovery.
