What would make a champion kickboxer and loving husband and father turn to ice Simon Fenech, a successful sportsman and committed family man, tried crystal meth for the first time after a traumatic work accident. He was instantly hooked. Soon, he was dealing to support a $1000-a-day addiction.
What followed was a story straight from the plot of Breaking Bad...Simon was shot by underworld hitmen. He came within an inch of losing his life after a horrific knife attack. He was hunted by drug lords and specialist police units - at the same time. And he reached the very depths of misery and despair. But Simon's story didn't end there. He managed to transform his life in a way that will inspire anyone who's either personally felt the devastating effects of ice or seen their loved one's battle with addiction.
Breaking Good is a raw, brutally honest and harrowing story of survival. It is also proof that even the most appalling fall from grace can lead to redemption.
Simon Fenech is the operations manager at 'fruit2work'. His transformation, from a drug addict buried deep in Australia's criminal underworld to an inspirational figure intent on changing the lives of others, is remarkable. fruit2work delivers fruit and other food directly to corporates and other organisations. It has a 100% success record in the prevention of reoffending by people who have completed their program. Simon lives in Kyneton, Victoria, with his family.
