I can’t believe it’s coming up on five years since I decided to finally go for it.
I had just enrolled at Quinnipiac University to pursue a degree in journalism in what was my second attempt at a college education. But this second try was different. I was nearly four years sober and ready to awaken the dreams I had lost when I was caught inside a miserable revolving door of detox and rehab.
Four years of a drug-free mind made it clear for me: I still wanted to write about sports.
So, I worked my ass off and got into Quinnipiac, but I had read all the books from the esteemed sports writers and broadcasters that we all know and love.
