TNA star Kurt Angle published a new blog on his official website going into detail on what drove him to many of his personal health issues during his career.

Angle did not offer a timeline to put the events in context, but Angle said he felt betrayed financially by a close friend at one time, driving him to hatred and drinking.

"My anger towards that person and myself caused me to lash out at other people that I truly cared about, knowing that it wasn’t their fault. It consumed me, eating up all of my energy, and I started to drink excessively," Angle blogged.

"I hated this person, I hated the world, and ultimately I hated myself. Hate! Hate! That was the problem. I didn’t realize that hating someone would only hurt ME and those that I loved, not the person that my hate was directed towards, as much as I wanted it to."

Angle said his solution was to forgive the person after spending time in prayer. He said that helped heal him and change his outlook, positively affecting his relationships.

"It’s amazing how I can look at things in a more positive way now and I know that my children see that about me. They no longer see an angry, resentful man that hated others, including himself. They see their father who loves all things," Angle wrote.

"My life has more meaning and my kids now have a father that I hope is a role model, all due to forgiving one particular human being. I pray that my kids will also understand the power of forgiveness. It’s not easy to do, but it truly helps you appreciate more in your life when you fixate on the good and not the bad."
