I'm from Chicago and when I was a young man I had serious IV drug problems I ended up homeless on the streets of LA and addicted to heroin by the grace of God I got into Tarzana Treatment Center and one Friday or Saturday evening guess who shows up at the treatment center to be the AA speaker for the night, none other than Danny Trejo wow what an incredible story this guy has I'll never forget him.

    I was a teen that was always in trouble and found myself seeing a judge once a week and visiting a counselor twice a week, sometimes more. My senior year was weekends in jail and constant stress from drug tests and PO’s.
    I learned about Trejo through that program. I guess he made some content just for teens and he told his life story and some. It was split over a bunch of episodes and about once a week we’d watch a video of his. It was awesome. lol.
    I thought I was a certain somebody until I heard his story. I had yet to stay in prison for any longer than a weekend and they only ever put me in intake/receiving cells. I was lucky.
    I won’t say this guy changed my life, but he def helped me find a different perspective. I hope to meet him one day and tell him how he helped me do that.
