Chronic Victory Podcast

The first of my "Motivation to Fight" series, what you hear me saying is directly from my writing.

In my early days of all the chronic stuff, when it got dark and just plain bad, I stumbled upon these types of audio recordings along with certain music styles that really helped me personally.  They helped me to muster the strength and will to keep going and keep existing.  I continue to gain strength and energy from this style.  So here I am, to pass it on.

I hope they do the same for you as they did for me.

Stay in the fight.
