How Destiny saved my life (quite literally) w/ Montage

I haven't really told anyone about my situation... Only some close family and friends. However with Destiny saving my life (quite literally), a really awesome community, and especially with Year 2 right around the corner I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to share my story. I'll be sure to include a TL;DR for those that don't feel like reading. Hehe. First off, my name is Brian and I'm 25 years old, grown and raised in Seattle. You could say during my Senior year in high-school I made some pretty bad life decision/choices. What "bad life choices" have I exactly made? Well, I got hooked on Oxycontin, then eventually got hooked on Heroin as Oxycontin got banned by the Government and was no longer available. I've been hooked on Opiates since I was about 18-19 years old, and I'm now 25. Yeah, you can say I've wasted a good portion of my life being slaved away to the devil's drug. I was fortunate enough to never get locked up in jail, or even worse OD. I've had multiple attempts in getting clean as well. However I ended up relapsing every time, except this time.... This time was different. It was seriously down to if I kept my habit going, I'd most likely end up on the streets, or even worse... dead. When I started getting clean, I picked myself up a PS4, and bought a copy of Destiny. This decision quite literally changed my life. If I didn't pick up a PS4 or a copy of Destiny back in Spring... I feel like I most likely would've gone back to using again. Destiny is my new addiction (in a good way of course), and I've met SO many good people in the community! I just want to thank you, the community of Destiny, and Bungie for changing my life for the better. So, I made a little PvP montage to celebrate, 6 months of sobriety, and an end to an AWESOME Year 1. (Minus being rekt by Thorn in Iron Banner/ToO) P.S. I haven't touched editing in a VERY long time... So I'm a little rusty, and just getting back in to the groove. Not to mention this is my first time using Final Cut Pro, I used to use Sony Vegas. So please go easy on me. :) TL;DR Got hooked on Heroin for a long time. Got clean, bought a PS4 and Destiny Changed my life Now clean. Now posting this. Thank you, Destiny Community and Bungie for an AWESOME Year 1.See you fellow guardians in Year 2.
