I knew why I was there. I could've tried to do it by myself and suck it up. But why do that if I could go get more help from capable people and see different ways to handle it? If anybody wants to talk about it, I'll talk about it. If you want to do it, you do it. If not, you won't do it. Some people sit there 30 days, walk out the door and start drinking again. It's all about what you really want. Do you want to change? I did.

I just watched what I ate.
After my last problem, I sought help and didn't wait for anybody to push me. I just did it on my own. Since the last time I had trouble, I've been clean.

I am going to get some help and get my life straightened out.

I'm going to find somebody, I told Tony when we had a meeting. It's an ongoing battle and it's not easy, but you have to want it to do it, and I want to do it.

They told Barry straight up they wanted to sit down and talk to him. It's understandable with all the problems I've had in the past. No one is going to open the door right away. They had the concern. I think they still have the concern about the other stuff. I have to do my part to be trusted again. I'm going to work hard and be ready to pitch when they give me the ball.

After that, I'm done with them.

I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.

I'm in a different situation here. Look at the guys already here. Over there, everybody looked at me. It was hard to try to talk to young guys who didn't want to listen to you.

This is a second chance for me, and I'm going to take full advantage of it.
