    powerful story sir.

    ive been clean for 3 years now and the road is rough.

    however we differ when it comes to god.

    i lost faith in him when my family started to die off one by one around me, literally.

    i want to agree with you on how great it feels when your family starts to come back around. it felt really good to have somebody in my corner again.



    good luck to you on your road to recovery sir and i sent my best wishes.

    I know this man personally, we met in kindergarden and stuck it out all the way through school and even to this day, my story isnt as rough but it has its similarities. i started in the wrong crowd when i was about 13 yrs old, we were smoking pot on a daily basis. my family owned a business and let me work for them making like 50$ a week, but at 13 anythings better than nothing right?? but that wasnt enough for me, i stole from the business very frequently to feed my habit, i quickly moved to opiates like vicoden percecet etc. it started to consume me, i wasnt withdrawing from the drugs but it seemed i started to build my whole personality around the kind of person i was when i was high. - i was 14 when my parents got into cocaine addiction and it quickly tore our family apart, brand new cars repoed jobs lost and almost lost the house, i remember goin without electricity for a week or soo at a time, and my family was so consumed in what they were doin and the adultry they were commiting that they didnt care what I did, so i lived it up and continued my behavior, kept stealing till i lost ALLLL of my familys trust, but it didnt matter to me, whenever i got the chance i got high, went to jail twice for never coming to school. and moved to oxy use and heroin use. my life was really turning into shambles, i had nothin, no ones trust, about to drop out of school, and a terrible habit....i was 19 and barely made it through high school even though i was smart enough to do the work. I sought god but i wouldnt find him right then...i joined the military and it straightened me up quick, im 21 yrs old now, ive been in 2 years, served a deployment overseas, have great job, all my familys trust back, my life has completly turned around...me and this mans comment you see above rely on eachother for support, and most of all we owe it to god. i thank him everyday and every night for what he's done for me......you wanna know what you can do?? ask god what you can do for him, and try to do right when you can and ur life will start to change for the better too...
