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
