“Before I Became Me: The Path To My Greatness” by Samuel E. Underwood is now available for purchase
“And it kind of started just like that—I stayed on that path for about twenty three years. And it was exciting at times, but it was also dangerous. I can remember times I almost lost my life. So I’m grateful for being alive with most of the sense that God gave me. I didn’t have to be that blessed; I could have been one of the unlucky ones that left this earth too early, but I was one of the ones selected to tell my story, so someone could maybe learn from some of the things I went through.”

The author, Samuel E. Underwood, shares that “The first time I experienced getting high was when I was about ten years old. I wasn’t old enough to buy alcohol or knew someone who would give me drugs. I found some cigars and matches. You might say, what does that have to do with getting high? I would light the cigar and puff it really fast a couple of times. After the fourth puff, my head would start spinning around. At that time in my life, that was fun—anew experience that I liked. I liked it so much, I tried to do it every day if I could. Now as I look back at my life, I would say that was about the time I started on the wrong path in life.”
“Before I Became Me: The Path To My Greatness” recounts the inspiring story that presents: after the fourth puff, the author’s head would begin to spin. At that time in his life, puffing a cigar was an experience he thoroughly enjoyed. He enjoyed it so much that he tried to smoke every day. As he reflected, that was the time he started on the wrong path in life.
A year before, he started skipping school. He liked the control he had when he didn’t go to school. Looking into his life, the first time he got high, it began a downward spiral. When he skipped school after that, smoking created a path toward girls, lying, robbing, and stealing.
Then his drug use began in that order. He stayed on that path for nearly twenty-three years. Though it was exciting at times, it was also dangerous. He can remember times when he almost died. He’s so grateful to be alive with most of the senses God gave him.
