I have an extensive felony record from 1978 until 1984. Nothing serious, petty stealing, joy riding. Dumb-assed kid stuff. But, I realized that the kind of life I was living wasn't benefitting me at all, and with the proper guidance and drug treatment, I overcame that stuff and have made a very good life for my family and myself in this businness over the last 20 some odd years. Yes, it was hard to have people believe in me and trust me at first, but as time past and people came to know me, they saw that I had left all that junk behind. I found that back then when I was trying to get a new start that the more good people you have speaking for you, the more people will learn to accept that you have given up the dope. Hopefully you have because dope isn't good for anyway. I hope that you keep plugging at it. Don't get discouraged, because you will never get anywhere if you do. Good luck, brother.
