Singleton explained that he had already stopped drinking back in March 2020, but being completely sober again has been something he had not experienced since he was 15 years old.
He described this period as one of the most steady stretches he has had in a long time and said he is grateful to be in a better place today.
He gave thanks to Brandon Turner and the staff at West Side Recovery for staying by his side throughout the process.
He also mentioned how much it meant to him to have support from skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who has been encouraging him along the way and showing up as a steady presence during this time.
A personal part of his message was dedicated to his father, Pastor Robert LeCount Sr. Singleton shared that his father was there when he needed support the most and never gave up on him.
He said keeping his promise to his father played a big role in getting him through this stage of his life.
He also spoke about giving his father a token that holds meaning for their relationship, especially since his father had kept many of his skateboards over the years.
Singleton closed his message by reflecting on reaching 33 days sober and expressing gratitude for the support he continues to receive from people around him.
