      You haven’t watched their doc or their story, have you?
      He has talked before about how he’s tried to help many times. I think they went years without talking even in their wrestling days because Dallas told Jake he’s done with him. At the start of the doc, I think Dallas hadn’t seen him in several years (my memory says 6 but I may be wrong).
      Addiction is a bitch. It was on Jake to hit that point he was ready to change.

And Dallas Page is an angel sent from heaven in terms of what he does in rehabilitating folks. Whether it be through addiction, injury, motivation, etc...I firmly believe that God didn't take you Jake because he had a HIGHER purpose for you to be an example for those that are still struggling. And now is your chance to GIVE BACK to those that are. I think by continuing to do good for yourself and for others you will satisfy the good lord's gift he has given you.

    So happy for Jake, one of my childhood heros. We're all proud of you brother! Thank you DDP for all you do to help people. You're the reason I have gone from 300 lbs to 250. Still a long journey to my goal of 175 but I'll get there!

    Jake, totally love ya, man! Your recovery has been a GIFT to watch these past years. I went through an awful lot of what you spoke of, and i totally know where you are coming from. You are on the right path, of that I am sure! I am sure you know as well, that if you help someone who is going through what you went through, and they make it through, you will understand what that gift is (I bet you know). Dallas? Thanks for not giving up. Thanks for reaching out to help your friend. Thanks for not giving up on him, and helping him get beyond his disease!
