Show Notes
Eric Burgess excelled at baseball. Then, due to a bad car accident, his world and his family fell apart. Starting with marijuana at a young age, he moved on to crack cocaine before he finished high school. He not only took the drugs, he sold them. He was addicted to the drugs and addicted to the lifestyle of no responsibility. Finally in August 2018, he died from smoking crack cocaine that had fentanyl in it. Narcan brought him back and he has been clean and sober ever since. After getting sober, he picked up a baseball and began marking off each stitch on the baseball. Others picked it up as a way to stay sober one day at a time. This is the 108 challenge.
