I am a 4 year old ex drug addict with 8~1/5 years of sobriety. i spent 20 plus years living in that mess!! dragging my kids through it right along with me. i was constantly moving from one place to another,and in one relationship to another.hurting my parents so bad, and thinking they were hurting me. I could get lean when i got pregnant, but always went back to using. in 2006 i started going to church. still in my addiction. i know i wanted jesus in my life i just couldn't get clean no matter how hard i tried! In 2008 i went to jail for drugs. i stayed 32 days. i prayed over and over, please god help me get into this program called "Drug Court" and I will stop using. so when i went to court the judge offered me the program ( God answered my prayer) i couldn't believe it!! i was in the program 2~and a half years and IT CHANGED MY LIFE! my relationship grew so strong with God. i was so proud that God loved me so much he answered my prayer! my relation ship grew so much with God, and its still growing! i am almost 9 years clean! i continue to love the lord and do my best to live for the lord. I help others when i can. if it wasn't for God i would never be where i am today. I share my experience, strength, and hope with every one i can...i want every one to see me glowing with his grace. i ask for prayers to keep me going in the right direction. I pray for all the drug addicts and alcoholics, and the small children that have no choice to live in that mess....
