Summary
In this episode, I have an incredible conversation with Khalil Rafati about his miraculous turnover from a homeless, strung out addict to a sober millionaire helping thousands of lives every day. Khalil is the owner of SunLife Organics, a health food chain in California, and the author of I Forgot to Die, which details his childhood trauma, his battle with drug addiction, and how he came out the other side. Khalil has also known Evan and I for about a decade (which is insane), but it’s been amazing seeing how much we’ve all evolved.

| 0:07.5 | Hey, this is Alexis Haines and welcome to Recovering from Reality, |
| 0:11.6 | where I illuminate the messy and magical path of coming home to yourself. |
| 0:16.1 | Whether you're on the road to recovery, seeking self-care techniques for surviving the |
| 0:20.5 | capitalist machine, or just need a moment to remember that you're not alone in your loneliness, |
| 0:26.2 | we're serving up the ultimate truth. Your challenges don't define you, how you deal with them does. |
| 0:33.0 | So are you ready to recover from reality? |
| 0:38.3 | I realized in that moment that my mom did the best that she could. |
| 0:44.2 | My mom carried me in her womb. My mom allowed me to eat from her body, |
| 0:50.0 | to take the minerals from her teeth and bones. Her hair got thin and fell out. |
| 0:55.1 | I came out of her womb, she suffered through that. My father beat her and I was born prematurely. |
| 1:00.4 | She went through that. She nursed me from her own breasts. I shitt on her, pissed on her, |

| 1:10.1 | And that woman I had spent 33 years hating and resenting, like a fucking idiot, |
| 1:15.7 | because I was the victim and someone touched my naughty spot and my mom didn't love me and my |
| 1:21.1 | dad beat my mom. By the way, I didn't get high for any of those reasons. I got high because it |
| 1:26.5 | fucking felt great and because I'm a selfish little shit. That's why I got high and that all |
| 1:31.6 | happened in that night. I realized I had been living like a piece of shit and I had completely |
| 1:38.1 | destroyed my life and I made a pact that night with myself and with God that I was going to be |
| 1:42.5 | fucking rich and I was going to take care of my mom and I was going to take care of any woman that |
| 1:47.1 | ever came into my life to the best of my ability. That was a quick clip from this week's episode |
