“Forget All Negative Misconception About Me”: Daniel Duncan-Williams Shares His Transformation Story

• Daniel, the son of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, spoke about his mental health and the misconceptions people have about him
• He said he is no longer the person many knew him to be and urged others to see him as the new person he is working to become daily
• Social media users who saw the video thronged the comments section to share their varied thoughts on Daniel and his new attitude

Daniel, the son of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, entreated people to erase all the negative misconceptions they have about him since he is no longer the same person.

According to the man of God's son, he loves his new self and would not go back to his old ways, hence no need for people to keep referring him to his past.

In a video on social media, Daniel disclosed he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016, a condition he says was triggered by substance abuse.

"I know there are many misconceptions and negative images of me out there, so I just want to take a minute to address them. In 2016, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My bipolar disorder is triggered by substance abuse. But that was my old life."

However, about two or three years ago, Daniel Duncan-Williams said he consciously decided to turn his life around and pursue positivity.

He committed to sobriety and quitting the bad habits, which include smoking, alcohol consumption, and promiscuous behaviour.

Instead of all the negative behaviour, Daniel said he started talking to people who can help him improve, reading, and eating well.

"In the past two or three years, I made a decision that I was going to turn my life around and change it for the better. I was going to choose sobriety. Please forget every negative misconception that you have about me because I love myself, and I am not going to give up on myself."
