HAMILTON IS A GOOD GUY:
Hamilton's struggles with drugs and alcohol are well documented. He finally got clean after being confronted by his grandmother, Mary Holt.[56] In May 2008 Hamilton said he had not used drugs or alcohol since October 6, 2005.[1] When giving a brief summary of his recovery, Hamilton says simply: "It's a God thing."[20] He does not shy away from telling his story, speaking to community groups and fans at many functions.[57] He frequently publicly tells stories of how Jesus brought him back from the brink and that faith is what keeps him going. Hamilton also wrote an autobiography called Beyond Belief which explains how he quit drugs and alcohol and found a relationship with God.[54]WELL DONE JOSH!
