Waking up sober is a good day. I love being able to wake up and do positive things, to go to the gym.

I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.

As far as having peace within myself, the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.
