I Logan Carder born March 28, 1995, in Denton Texas became aware of my addiction at age 14, when I realized nothing was enough. Thus umbrellaed my curiosity right into a relationship with demons. Inner bondage grew loud and fierce over the years as I struggled to understand “what’s the point” I went through 5 inpatient rehabs with a desperate attempt to divert my life away from death and misery. I’ve been in and out of jail for drugs and violence, and each and every time I went into a facility, I shared my spirit and direction and knew it to be true. The darker people I tried to light up, the more fulfilling my life became. Countless people began telling me, “You should write a book” with each exit from various institutions… I began agreeing with them as sobriety became more of a lifestyle than a goal, yet it was never the right time. It was here that the understanding formed that it’s never the right time and we will continuously put off what is more agitation to deal with more comfort within ourselves in the moment, stunting the area of growth in which we wish to expand. How we do small things, is how we do all things. Once I understood my personality was the problem not the drugs. I developed the process of changing everything. I changed the way I understood the world over the course of two years by changing the topics I speak on and speaking through spirit instead of EGO. I got my GED in jail being that I dropped out of Marcus H.S. I’ve done 6 years of my 28-year-old life, locked up. As I approach 4 years sober this January 2024. I look into the promised land, and what my life looks like without alcohol/drugs compared to what it looks like with it. I got out of prison 10/21/2022. I’ve been home a little over a year being that it is December, I have launched my own company Asset Ascension in the E-commerce space, in which I have two students I’m teaching as well. I bought a house in June, followed by a 2023 Indian motorcycle, I see my son every other weekend and I’m constantly coming to a better understanding of myself. We all have who we think we are, and who we truly are. How do we minimize that gap? Follow me as I take on the world of recovery with raw example, if you have faith behind the thought your giving set thought life. Let’s speak a new future, know a new future, and fulfill our future with promise. This is not a destination, so I look forward to feedback as I stride into the new year with thoughts around how I can help you. God is tangible in my life. The spirit is at your discretion, which do you choose to feed. Let me know how I can help. I have come to realize getting out of SELF, is the only way.
