Slinging the Rock: A Memoir of Addiction, Survival, and Second Chances

Slinging the Rock is not a story about a hero. It is a story about what happens when a gifted man loses himself and has to decide whether there is enough left to rebuild.Huncho had talent, ambition, family, and a future. Football once looked like his way out. But when the dream collapsed, the streets offered something else: money, women, motion, control and eventually, destruction.What begins as hustle becomes obsession. What feels like power becomes paranoia. What looks like freedom becomes addiction. Little by little, Huncho watches the life he built take everything that actually mattered: relationships, fatherhood, peace, dignity, and eventually himself.Raw, unapologetic, and deeply personal, Slinging the Rock follows Huncho through addiction, homelessness, grief, broken relationships, fatherhood, and the slow work of becoming a man his children can depend on.This is not a glorification of the streets.It is a confession about the cost.And a reminder that sometimes surviving rock bottom is only the beginning.
