“I’m certainlynot going to try to hide anythingfrom them. The idea is to be in a position that I’m feeling good about and making them feel good about. All that stuff is just in the past. Maybe some interesting stories for the campfire one day,” he said.

Fatherhood has changed the way he looks at life, as has his recovery. When it comes to his own kids, “I can’t help but be hyperaware of little traits that I see in my kids and maybe where they could end up going one way or another as they get older. I think it’s helpful to have that perspective earlier on, so you can nudge them in a direction where they can utilize all their traits positively.”

“My lifestyle is all about staying healthy and focused,” the father of two noted. “There’s nothing better than two beautiful children to keep you focused. And their mother, Viviane, is such a fantastic mother and so very helpful.”

Though they’re still young, Cameron can see some of his family’s signature creative spark in his little ones, something that means a lot to him.

“It’s interesting. My son is just over 2, and he’s got a great disposition — always has a smile on his face and loves meeting new people,” he shared.

The support of that family has been one of the driving forces in Cameron’s recovery.

“I think when somebody is really struggling, to have love and support is crucial. Because at least for myself, there are some parts of my life that were so dark that I was maybe starting to lose hope for myself,” he said. “Thenhaving the love and support of people that you also love and respect, it was just critical for me.”
