I’ve worked really hard to get where I am today.

It hasn’t been easy.

Drug addiction only ends in one of two ways. You either quit or die. That’s why I thank my lucky stars I managed to change my ways and learned to live a productive life.

My name is Craig Hitchens and I’m a drug addict.

Although I’ve been sober 4 years, I’m a still an addict. It’s a struggle every day and if it weren’t for my children, I would have relapsed a long time ago.

Having kids not only gave me purpose, but they also gave me a means of unleashing my anger and rage that didn’t include getting high on drugs.

Everybody needs an outlet. Everybody needs a vice. Thankfully I no longer resort to freebasing crack in order to decompress. I’ve developed more healthy ways of coping with my issues. I just beat my kids!

Most addicts tend to replace one addictive behavior with another. But you don’t want to replace one harmful addiction with another. The benefits of replacing drugs with beating your kids are twofold. Not only will you feel super relaxed and chill after giving your kids a good wallop, but your children will also then grow up to be artists and really interesting people, because of their trauma and unique experiences.

If you think meth gives you a rush, wait until you backhand your oldest son!

I promise you — once you feel the smack, you’ll never go back.

After four years of sobriety, I’m proud to say that the only crack I need is that of a belt against my child’s jaw. Life is beautiful.
