Alcohol Quote by Sugar Ray Leonard

“I learned that I had character defects, that I was allergic to alcohol and drugs, and that I had an obsession with all the bad stuff. But thank God that I woke and that I had good people around me to support me. There's not much more I can say about it. You have to want to be a better person.” quote by Sugar Ray Leonard
