Antwuan Dixon Has Hit a Major Milestone, Sober For Two Years
We want to say, a huge congratulations to Antwuan Dixon, who hit a milestone on Friday as he was rewarded with his 2-year sobriety medal! His friend posted in an Instagram story to show Antwuan's achievement amongst his friends and fans. We can see just how proud Antwuan has made everyone, including himself, which is of the most importance.
Two years is dedication and a long time to stay true to yourself when battling addiction; we are hyped to see he's living a better-than-good life surrounded by his friends and enjoying being on his board again. Antwuan has always been one of my favorites. Even though I was aware of his lifestyle, it was still a huge letdown to see the path he was on and how he was treating substances, skateboarding, fans, and even his teammates and friends. However, Antwuan has now flipped the script, and we couldn't be happier for him and the people who continue to show their love and support.
More often than not, when living a life dependent on substances will lead to people being so clouded and engulfed in their addiction that they're unable to muster up the strength nor the brain power to see things clearly and then act on fixing the problems. That's why it gets to a point where nobody can help you anymore, no matter how much they want to; it all comes down to you and your willpower to change your life around. But as Antwuan and many other professional skateboarders continue to show us, it is for the better, and no matter how deep you think you are, you can do it too!
Again, congratulations Antwuan; it's beautiful to see; keep up the good life!
