I was really close to closing it up. I was at the dentist having him do mock-ups. I thought about it, man. I was in my twenties. I was playing with the Giants. There’s so much pressure to be perfect. You can fix everything now. For me, I made the conscious effort to say “This is who I am.” I’m not perfect. I don’t want to try to be perfect.

Fortunate for me ours seemed to come through.

When you still know you can do something, but you’re choosing not to do it, you still have those mornings where you wake up and have the feeling. I still get that. But I just know that it’s not in my best interests to do it anymore. So I just have to get over that.
