Kevin was in a previous episode. He was homeless at age 14. He ran drugs. He robbed a bank. He was a heroin addict for 20 years. He’s lost many street friends to drugs. He stopped when his best mate overdosed. At 42, he’s now clean, married and works to help the homeless. He has some strong opinions about where responsibility lies.
“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.”
– Jim Rohn – USA Businessman 1930s
