In Season 1 Episode 13, Daron discusses his general thoughts about Derrick Moore’s book 7 Steps from Addiction to Sobriety. The seven steps he listed in his book were any positive step in the right direction, open your mind to a power outside of yourself, core value lists practice, start learning again, focus on the "The body" and "The mind," do more, and create a daily routine. I also discuss things that surprised me with his book.

Some of the questions that I wanted to ask him but couldnt are “How was your body able to handle heroin, meth, cocaine, crack, ecstasy, and alcohol? Do you think these 7 steps were oversimplified with someone who has a drug addiction? Did you think it was worth it to be indirectly involved in a bank robbery for only six dollars? How did you start being addicted to all of those drugs?” I also state my six steps on overcoming drug addiction from my perspective, which are admit you have a problem, get help with your problem like going to rehab, AA meetings, seek out a counselor for additional support, confide in friends and family, believe in yourself-believe that your change is possible, and finally go to a higher being like God to ask for help.
