Why didn’t I die?

Let me be straight with you.

I should be dead.

That spot you’re looking at in the picture? That’s where I overdosed. Right there. Heroin got me in the streets of Salt Lake City. Just another dead addict. But I didn’t. Somehow, I didn’t.

And now I’m spray-painting walls and dropping QR codes to make sure someone like you doesn’t go out like I almost did.

Here’s why this matters:

Mental health and addiction don’t care who you are.
They’ll wreck your life if you let them. But I’ve lived it. I’ve clawed my way out. I believe in mental health and in the work that saved me.

And I’m not here for your money.

So if you’re broke, lost, tired, strung out, or just sick of your own excuses—start with the free 2-week mental health journal.

Print it or use it on your phone. Start building your routine. Start writing. Start showing up.
Quit being a victim. Quit bullshitting yourself. The work you are avoiding is the work that will set you free.

How to Use This:

🔹 Step 1: Grab the free 2-week mental health journal
🔹 Step 2: If it hits? Read the book – it’s raw, real, and written for you

This isn’t therapy. It’s not fluff.
It’s what I wish I had when I was dying in the street.

And if it helps even one of you keep going? Then this graffiti just saved a life. One love, drink some water.

  • You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start. This two-week journal gives you tools to fight back—morning and night routines, honest check-ins, daily goals, and a purpose to wake up to. Print it out or use it on your phone. Just start.

  • Why I Wrote Why Didn’t I Die?

    I wrote this book because I believe with everything in me that we are all capable of more — of healing, of becoming, of building the life we were meant to live. I wrote Why Didn’t I Die? to make a real difference in the world, to reach the kid who feels lost like I once did, to reach the person who needs a reason to believe in themselves again. This book is a piece of my heart, built from my own battles with addiction, my failures, my growth, and my relentless pursuit of becoming the best version of myself — and now, my mission is to help you do the same.

    I promise you: if you invest two hours of your life into reading this book, you will walk away with more confidence, more motivation, more understanding — both of yourself and the complicated dynamics of addiction. Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, you'll gain real tools and real insight. But more importantly, you'll ignite a spark. Why Didn’t I Die? isn’t just about lighting that spark; it’s about helping you build the systems, the mindset, and the spiritual foundation needed to keep that fire alive. My dream is not just to inspire you — it’s to help you change your life, to take that small moment of motivation and turn it into a lifetime of growth, healing, and strength. This book was written for you, and I give you my full heart in every page.

What People Are Saying

But yeah, there’s a ton of wisdom in this book. I haven’t gone through drug addiction but there’s so much to take away from it. I feel like I’ve needed more direction lately and I’ve been avoiding so many things, so thanks for the reminders here to set a routine, connect spiritually, and put forth the effort that’s required to achieve my goals.

I love the way that these classes are what you make of them , I don’t feel pressured to overwork myself each time and can go my own pace, but when I want to push my limits, the support is already there. So far all of my workouts have been really well balanced and enjoyable!
