It seems like the adversity that you faced actually made you tougher and want this even more. I think its great that you achieved this win because you really deserve it. Im about your age, 40 now, and wish I look as good as you did on that stage.

Thank you, hang in there I know it gets dark but I swear if you allow it to it will get better. There were times when I honestly didn't think I would see the light of day but things clear and we survive and go on. Just focus on what you have control over and divorce yourself from what you don't. Don't make bad situations worse and (depending on religious beliefs and views) just trust that things are working that maybe you don't understand right now. Things will get better I promise.

Thanks for the inspirational words and for replying.It's nice to be a part of a forum where people tend to help each other out instead of put each other down. I've been doing just what you've said and have been pulling through. Thanks for everything and hopefully one day you'll be routing for me on that stage

Anthony, it was really great to meet you last night!

I saw him at the Gainesville show yesterday, he looked extremely good. This guy is the real deal, we've been messaging back and forth about him training my uncle who is a FL native and they're probably going to work something out. I'm pretty jealous actually hah.

Anyways, best of luck in Orlando next week dude, my uncle and cousins will be there cheering you on.

On a side note, when he left stage after receiving third in his class, my uncle shouted "Yea Anthony", or something to that effect. This prompted grumblings and controversy from everyone sitting around us saying how he deserved 1st and looked the best in the class. I mean it, he was DIALED IN! Oh well, I guess the judges had their reasons.
