My name is Tim.
When I go fight, everything comes into focus.
Nothing else matters.
Shady, Shady.
Shady was always sneaking some techniques in there
where he would, you know, make you think low but go high.
His approach on throwing you off was quite shady,
and it worked for him.
My professional mixed martial arts record is 17 and 9,
17 wins, 9 losses.
Six title fights, four Canadian title wins.
I've got to have a beer right here, you know.
I'm addicted to crystal meth and booze.
You get high, and you build a wall,
and you forget about all that.
You don't think about that stuff.
You're too focused on other [BLEEP] that it doesn't matter.
Doing [BLEEP] that means [BLEEP] nothing.
I've stayed up for 27 days, 13 days, 20 days,
18 days tweaking out and doing crazy stuff.
STEVE: I've seen him at some low points throughout his career,
but this is the--
I've never seen a person this low.
The inner Shady's not there.
It's like it's Tim, but it's not.
It's not him at all.
BRUCE: When Tim was born, it was a great day.
BARB: He was just a chubby little ball of life, you know,
and he was cuddly, and you just--
he was adorable.
Me and Tim are 13 months apart, and Lee's older than us.
He's 12 years older.
My mom had another son, Roddy.
He passed away before I was born.
CARMEN: My mom told him to go around to the passenger door,
and when he was, she started the key.
And it jerked forward, got him squished
between the truck and the wall.
She just wanted to turn it on so they could warm up, though.
LEE: Yeah, after Roddy's death, my parents started drinking.
Things were chaotic for quite a few years,
but when Carmen and Tim were born,
that was sort of a turning point.
They got sober.
We had a stable home, and we were a pretty
happy family at that time.
BARB: They both were in AA for quite a while,
and it was looking really positive.
But Sandy never recovered from the death of Roddy.
I think she must have kept that buried really deep.
BRUCE: She started drinking before I did,
and so it was kind of hard to have
one non-drinker and one drinker, and things
just started to go south on us.
I was back drinking, and Sandy and I,
we really weren't talking.
I really wasn't there for them.
It was tough on Tim.
BARB: After the incident with his mom,
he started to hang around with some of the tougher
kids in the neighborhood.
TIM: Started drinking young.
13 years old, I was having blackouts.
I smoked crack for my first time when I was about 14 years old.
My sister started to use drugs too.
BARB: When the kids moved in with me, they were teenagers.
They were like 15, 16.
My auntie, Barb, was a real good auntie.
She never had alcohol or drugs in the house.
It was after my daughter's son was born the family
started getting close again.
I was working on roofs.
But I was thinking I need to do something with my life.
And I was watching the "Ultimate Fighter" show,
and I was hooked.
I needed to get into it.
He never took baby steps into this sport.
He just dove right into the deep end.
Tim never used drugs at all when he fought.
I had a fight.
I was the main event.
It was the last fight my mom was at.
LEE: My mom was still involved in drinking and the drugs.
It carried with her for most of her life.
I was sober.
I was doing good, and I met my wife.
She's a crystal meth addict, but she turned around, sobered up,
and I married her.
We both went from having like, struggle lives, poor families,
broken homes to like, a really solid home foundation.
BARB: When Tim had his son, he was quite excited.
He did everything.
He changed diapers.
He was just a really good dad.
BRUCE: And he won the belt, and then
he defended it three times.
It was exciting.
TIM: Things were going good, and then my wife
started getting high again and
Tim stepped in so many times and tried to help his wife.
TIM: I'd break pipes, beat up her friends.
She put me in life and death situations numerous times.
It was just a downhill spiral very quickly
from when they first split up.
And then I just started drinking and using too.
TIM: The anger started coming out more,
and the house getting smashed up, holes
getting punched in the walls.
LEE: Tim would be high on meth and all night
long, just wrecking stuff, and he
would turn violent on my dad.
And my dad had enough.
Yeah.
Yeah, are we waiting for Tim?
MAN: No.
CARMEN: We'll probably be waiting here all night.
What's he doing that's so important he can't
like, pick up the phone call?
[BLEEP].
That just [BLEEP].
Like, now we're out of dope, and I
don't want to be stressful around my [BLEEP]
kid and [INAUDIBLE]
LEE: Tim is resentful.
My dad is coming down too.
[INAUDIBLE] my shoes.
Hi, you booger-wooger.
Hi, my biggie boy.
Oy.
Oh, you look so handsome.
Is Zu-Zu here?
Yeah.
Tim could be the most awesome dad,
and his son is the most awesome child.
He's going to need Tim, and Tim's going to have to step up.
Took a push broom, and I [BLEEP]
pushed every [BLEEP] item in the house onto the deck.
I can't [BLEEP] go through the stuff in the [BLEEP] house
because the [BLEEP] landlords, so I'm
going through it on the deck.
I can't go through the stuff on the deck
because everyone thinks it's [BLEEP] garbage.
[BLEEP]
Let's go for a walk, BB.
Pushed beyond my max here.
Everyone's [BLEEP] should have storage there, storage there.
It's my [BLEEP] life.
It's been a [BLEEP] stress on me.
I'm going to end up [BLEEP] killing myself over the [BLEEP]
storage unit, man.
[BLEEP]
BRUCE: As soon as he raises his voice or his temper
starts to go, then his son's just like,
I don't want to be here.
And he starts shaking, and he starts crying.
BB's with him?
LEE: He's in the back room.
That's what leads to drug abuse,
and that cycle is just going to continue with his son.
Forgot my phone.
Guess I [BLEEP] forgot my [BLEEP] dope too, man.
[BLEEP] sucks.
- I'm Jeri. - Hi.
It's good to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Come on in.
Tim, I love you, and I'm concerned for your health.
I'm concerned that you lost perspective
on the welfare of BB, and you expose him to some violence
and sudden outbursts.
You ought to be sold to BB and get help,
or we're going to have to just walk away.
We love you.
CARMEN: BB's the most awesome little guy
you could ever ask for.
He's the perfect kid.
And he runs and says, look, I'm training
hard, just like my dad.
Watching him wanting to be just like you is killing me inside.
It hurts me so much.
I cannot explain the pain I've been feeling.
If you don't accept this help, I'm
going to have to do the hardest thing we'll ever have to do,
and that's walk away.
I love you.
I took BB a year ago.
And I told you, as soon as you get
help and get back on your feet, I'd bring him back to you.
And I have to stick to my word.
I will not bring him back until then.
So please accept this treatment.
I cannot and will not be a part of your life
unless you accept this help.
I love you, son.
Your son wrote a letter too.
It says, "Hi, Dad.
I love you.
And I can't wait till you go for help, so you and me
can be together all the time.
I love you, Dad."
So will you go to treatment today?
Yeah.
Tell your family that.
I'll go.
Yeah.
Good job.
Good job, Tim.
Yeah.
I love you, man.
Good.
Hi, Booger.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Want Daddy to get better?
Yeah.
And then we'll be back together again?
Yeah.
OK.
BB: I love you, Dad.
Love you, buddy.
Tim?
Tim.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to the Last Door, guys.
There ended up being a physical confrontation
between him and another client in which Tim owned
the responsibility for and--
and we just have a zero tolerance
for aggressive behavior.
TIM: Being kicked out, it was devastating, you know.
I did a big no-no.
I hit somebody, put in an unsafe spot,
and got kicked out for it.
I kept my old street mentality, you know.
You say something to me I don't like,
I'm going to punch you out.
And that's what happened.
I'm grateful for Bruce giving me a second chance.
Now that I'm back in, I'm not taking anything
for granted while I'm here.
I think Tim's saving grace was when he was leaving,
he asked if he could keep the manual.
He wanted to continue working, regardless if he was here.
And for me, that meant a lot.
That told me that he still had interest in recovery,
and just because he made a mistake wasn't
going to be the end for him.
TIM: The amount of gratitude I have, I can't
even express it through words.
I just got to express it through my actions
and complete my program.
And there's so many people in my corner cheering for me,
and like, I'm cheering for myself this time too I'm
learning to love myself again.
And I'm not taking nothing for granted.
Shady 2.0, it's my second chance at life.
