Im going out on a limb sharing this video of my life, but I feel as though I know most all of you well enough to not be judged
If you are asking how this relates to Bass Fishing its very simple, In 2000 I had twice the tackle and equiptment I own now, this brief story of my life (recorded by my employer) will explain how I lost everything and what it took to gain it back.
If you wish to comment please do so here and not on the you tube video it self.
In closing I want to say that should you know someone who struggles with these issues I am always willing to help.

I wish my 44 year old brother would wake up and smell the coffee like you did. Your a good man Neil!
Thanks Tom, if there is anything I can do let me know
He ended up moving to Texas about a year ago. According to him he's fine!
Let me define F.I.N.E. = F*#@ed up, Insecure, Nuerotic & Emmotional , like I said Im here should you need me hope to see you soon!
neil, words can not describe how your story touches me, i lost my younger brother to substance abuse, he spent over a year in fuller hospital in attleboro, but could not save him, to see you recover from what you have been through is truly amazing, stay strong and stay with it, you have people depending on you, do it for them and mostly yourself.... scott.
i know i'm a new guy around here and haven't gotten much of a chance to know you yet, but i really admire you for sharing this and find it pretty damn inspirational bro. good for you for working thru such difficult times and finding your way. i come from a community where i've seen lots of my friends i grew up with go down a similar path and never make it back (and lord knows i've had my struggles of my own). thanks for sharing your story, it reminds me how life isn't about falling down, but about getting back up. awesome man.
Neil I'm proud of what you have accomplished and I know your trying to help other people do the same.Every thing positive counts for the whole world.And you are positive and I wish everyone else was.YOU ARE A KING IN MY BOOK FOR BEATING THE ODDS.I hope my son and his girl can say the same in four years.I think they will be able to because they have a beautiful 4 month old baby girl that they love very much.I haven't known you very long but you became my friend the moment we met.
as somebody who just met you this past weekend, and only spoke to you for about 3 minutes, some could say my opinion doesn't matter much. However, I must say in those short 3 minutes, you made a positive impression on me. (yeah, I'm the guy who made you feel like a celebrity by asking if you were Sinista!). Anyhoo, I have always been a person who has had an extra 'sense' about strangers/newcomers, etc... I guess that is why my employer always asks my opionion about people they are interviewing. During those 3 minutes, I had a 'sense' you had some past troubles, but I also had a 'sense' you persevered! I guess I was correct again. When I told you to let me know the next time you were in my neighborhood (north shore-attitash, merrimack river, chebacco), I truly meant it. Glad things have worked out for you and I hope I can get an opportunity to make a lasting impression on you, as you have for others.
