This is a testimony of a life of struggling with addiction . I came to know Jesus when i was about ten. through my teens i turned my back on him and pretty much accepted an atheist view point. I grew up from a broken home. An alcholic father. I had a neighbor that sold crack cocaine. He came over quite often and would cook it up and smoke it in front of me. I was only fifteen and evently tried cocaine at fifteen and then smoke it at sixteen. And this was a pretty un-stable foundation to grow up on. By the time i was seventeen i had moved up and tried harder substances. i tried meth a few times. thank God i didnt like it. I start doing a lot of pschedelics and ectascy. When i turned eighteen i got into heiron. Next thing i know I was strung out. I also would do anything i could get my hands on. Oxycotin, zanax,etc. Next thing that happend; i started using a needle. That was probaly the worst times of my life. I just felt so Low and a complete failure. this went on for a few years. I would also sell what i could to support my habbits. this past year i got hit with a possesion of marijuana. I was still run alittle bizz on the side. I stopped about six months ago. Well a rough past will always come bk to haunt you. 3 months ago, i got served with 3 felony distrabution charges(cocaine, extacsy). I realy felt my life was over and that im going away for along time. Well after all this burden. i had no where else to go. i ended up going bk to a church. I ended up just pour my heart out to God. I rededicated my life to him and was FILLED with the HOLLY GHOST!! I just felt all my pain and anguish just wash away. it was an undescribable feeling. Praise Jesus! since then He has completely Healed me from a life of addictions. I realy have just keep moving forward without looking bk. I realy do feel completely renewed. ive put all my faith in him. I have no worries only joy! I completely stnp watching negative t.v. programs and listen 2 a christian radio station(KLove) Positive influences create a positive mind! He has blessed me with a good lawyer for this case. and i will probaly just get about a year rather than 5 to ten in a prison. God is realy on My side and yours 2! -Andrew Leager

Andrew,

Thank you for sharing your testimony! My heart is so uplifted today. I was in a similar situation and with literally death and destruction facing me, I made the choice to finally turn around and try something new. God delivered me from all of my addictions and is working on me everyday to mend the parts of me I have broken. Looking back at just two months ago, I can hardly believe I ever lived the way I did. Using and dealing were a way of life for me for the better part of 16 years, but that life seems like a million years ago. I am so thankful everyday!

I'll be praying for you that no matter what happens with your legal situation, He can use it for His glory!
