It's mainly due to how we grew up and the things we saw and how drugs and alcohol were destroying our community. So me and my brother vowed to go outside the box and be different. As kids we'd talk for hours about things we wanted to accomplish and not falling into the same cycle. In one of those talks we vowed to never drink, vowed to never smoke and never tattoo our bodies. It's not the norm and we hoped it would keep us disciplined and the older we got, the more we stuck to it and the more influential it became on my friends and family. Even now that vow is bigger...(as an influence on others) because people in the community when I go back the kids they ask me, "Is it true that you don't drink? That you never drank or never smoked?" It's sending out a message of staying disciplined and strong and it's powerful.
wow!
