My parents divorced when I was 12.
I began a new life.
Started smoking pot and hash.
Then acid and mescaline.
At 14, I was a heroin addict, until 16.
Then I began working so I didn't get high very often.
When I was in the service, I became an alcoholic and smoke weed every night too.
In my thirties, I started doing crank, then crystal meth.
I almost lost my mind and my life.
I met Jesus and he took all the fears and addictions away and gave me a new mind. He filled me with a love I had never known before. I found self-worth. I no longer desired anything to master me. I had gained self-control. When I drink, I usually have one or two, then stop. If I feel like I am getting a buzz, I will stop. Don't want to lose control. I drink lots of WATER. Still have my one cup of coffee in the morning to get me going and a cup at night when I am driving, to keep me awake. I am a much better person now that all the drugs are out of my life!
