I knew about Christ at a young age, but I walked away from my faith and started taking pills to escape all my pain. It didn’t take long for me to realize that if I took more than what the doctor prescribed, it felt good and let me escape even more from the hurt I was going through. The older I got, the more I needed an escape. I don’t even remember my first wedding because I was so high. My addiction continued to grow until I was using heroin, coke, and pills all at once. Then I got addicted to fentanyl and lost my second marriage. Finally, God met me at a faith-based rehab center. Today I’m 3-years clean, sober, and married to a wonderful woman. My relationship with God is the closest it has ever been. I even have my minister’s license. It feels like I found the greatest life you could ever imagine. God didn’t allow me to die when I was using drugs. He has a plan for our lives and it’s greater than our own.

There are moments in life when the world around you looks normal, but inside you’re living in a collapsing house. That was me. I walked around with a straight face, but my soul was cracked like old stone. I wasn’t just lost — I was blind. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know God. And worse, I didn’t know how far I was from him.
