I don't usually lead with this. But if I'm going to talk about health and habits honestly, you need to know where I came from.
I was a man on drugs. Every night, I was out — drinking, getting drunk, making choices I'm not proud of. I stopped smoking in 2006, but replaced it with w**d by 2008. I slept at 4 in the morning. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I didn't think twice about my body.
I didn't care. Not about my health. Not about tomorrow.
And the painful truth? I had already met Christ. I had already been baptized. And still — I walked back into everything I came from.
I share this not because I'm proud of it. I share it because there might be someone reading this who feels too far gone to change. Who thinks their history disqualifies them from a different future.
It doesn't.
The distance between who we were and who we are becoming is exactly where grace does its greatest work. And if God can work with someone as stubborn as me — He can work with you.
I'm TONIO. And this is where my real story starts.
Drop a ✋ if you've ever had a "before" you weren't proud of.
