Yes, I did use illegal drugs, like other angry young men
You don't want to see my dirty laundry--and I don't want you to see it--but there is some, and if I get any traction at all in this campaign you probably will. You might be shocked, but probably not. I wasn't much different from any other confused,
hurt and angry young man. Yes, I did use illegal drugs, drink too much, lose my temper, go to jail overnight a couple of times and get some probation. Anyone who is really interested in the specifics can drill down if they
want to, but for me, now, what is important is that the suffering that I and those around me endured was not wasted. It caused me to accept responsibility, to try and understand the real motives for my
behavior and ultimately to realize that people can heal if they are honest, courageous and determined--and have the love and support of others.
