    Absolutely ❤ his climb out of the clutches of addiction. I'm 36 and have almost 6 months without a drop of alcohol in my body, and I work at the treatment center I attended last February. Change is possible when you're fed up living with a constant crutch. Shout out to all my sober warriors out there from Carlsbad New Mexico🌶

    Childhood trauma is the root cause of so many problems in society. Behind every addict, prostitute, murderer or gangster is a tale of childhood abuse, trauma or neglect. Untreated emotional, physical and psychological pain more often than not leads to addiction. Often that trauma is passed down through families and the cycle of trauma and addiction continues.
    Jared was lucky that wheh he hit rock bottom he was able to get into detox, could pay for it or have someone pay it for him and had MMA to focus on. Many people in his situation have none of that and unfortunately end up dead.

      If you think Gordon won round 3 for his contoll time then paddy controlled an dictated the pace of the first 2 rounds then split his head open with a elbow visible damage at the end of round 1 paddy definitely won round 2 and whatever way you look at it he either won round 1 with his contoll an dictated pace of the round plus cutting Gordon head open or he got round 3 for landing some shots while Gordon was trying to hold on without throwing ant shots

    Weak minded people I swear, I was an addict too, it's not a disease it's a decision and nobody feels bad for you. You choose to pop that pill or shoot that needle, I'm sick of this being glorified like why are we talking about it lol I'm ashamed and embarrassed of my past. All that stupid ass counting the number of days sober is so dumb. It was never apart of my life to me now. Addicts just always need someone to feel bad for them and need attention. I wasn't that kind of addict but that's 99.9 percent of them. I just loved drugs lol.

      I don't understand your point. Your reason for addiction is "I just loved drugs lol" and his was getting molested as an eight year old child. This is a story of triumph and somebody making a positive change in their life. Not once did Jared Gordon ask for sympathy or ask for glory because of his addiction or overcoming it. He fell in love with martial arts and sport after hitting rock bottom and overcame addiction, which doesn't sound at all like weak mindedness to me. To each their own I guess.

    Hold on did he say he did a home invasion and battered them too? And then he just skimmed past it. And did he say that his reason for quitting heroin was because he was tired of the way getting high felt? That’s not really inspirational or triumphant. Most people quit for a better reason than that
    This would be a good villain arc but Jarad’s a boring ass fighter. And wtf he did not have to get so descriptive about his molestation
