Wow, we didn’t expect to see so many references to hard drugs when we asked what you guys did before but don’t now that you’re a dad. But, this is a good news story because the arrival of a baby helped change so many lives for the better. Here’s just some of what you stopped doing since becoming a dad.

What is something you used to do before you were a dad that you wouldn't do now?

Zachary Folkes: Truthfully…. Meth. Once I was told I was having a son I didn’t believe it at first. But, the day I heard his heart beating over the ultrasound for the first time, everything changed. Now I thank god everyday that I was blessed with my sons (one on the way). I don’t know where I would have ended up if it weren’t for them.

Reid Wirth: I would never touch another woman! My wife gave me my babies! She has my eternal faithfulness! I was in the delivery room for both! I saw what she went through!

Cameron DeMille: Road rage. I drive more carefully, even when I’m by myself and I am way more level headed when dealing with traffic and bad drivers. Don’t need to be getting in trouble or putting my kids at risk

Jay Green: Chase tornadoes. Live in Oklahoma, used to drive all over the place for em. Now I just chill and watch it on TV (but if my sirens are go in off you bet your ass I get the kids in the hidey hole and go outside to watch).

Jonathan M. Brown: Alcohol. All the alcohol. Now I’m this responsible adult who needs to set and example. Plus I need my wits about me.

Alex Szypulski: Play football. Won’t risk the head injury anymore.

Blake Allen: I will try not to get so upset when watching sports and when my team loses. Want to set a good example there.

Nathaniel Sarginson: Have sex anywhere and anytime I want.

Dave Fanning: Play Xbox until 5am.

Eduardo Guadarrama: Bye bye my Play Station!!!!

Derek L Jones: [I was a] couch potato and played lots of video games. I’m up all the time now. When I’m home, I’m usually playing with my daughter.

Ridge Tendler: Used to do lots of hard drugs . Wouldn’t be in a very good place right now if it weren’t for the little one.

Joe Cervantes: Cocaine. The day she told me she was pregnant changed me. Been clean for going on 4 years now.

Adam Rocha: Get a solid 8 hours of sleep.

King Hern: Have a sex life!
