A Drug Addict and Drunk turned Christian

For the majority of my adult life I was addicted to meth and alcohol. I always felt like that I needed one or the other to be "happy". When I was sober, I was actually very shy, and very awkward around people, especially people I didn't know. I found that if I had a few drinks in me, I was alot more social, and I didn't seem to care if everyone around me was accepting me or not. In fact, sometimes when I got drunk, I didnt want people to accept me. I wanted to fight. I shake my head in embarrassment now, looking back, at all the times I would pick fights with nice people, just because I wasn't thinking straight. The next day I'd either have to watch my self, that I didn't run into the same people the next day and risk getting into another fight, or I'd have to go back, all red-faced and humbled and make my apology. Sheesh. Iam amazed that I still have a nice face, after all the fist fights I've been in. And as for the meth, well, it didn't make me fight. It made me feel....busy. I was constantly on the go, going nowhere in particular.

I find it amazing that that was not that long ago! This past year and a half has been amazing! God has truely set me free from my addiction to meth and booze. Which is really amazing. I am now going to college and pursuing a degree in buisness OR getting my teaching degree. I still havn't decided. I am enjoying learning more about God and His ways of doing things in life. I learn something new every day that I want to. I've been reunited with all my children(4 of them) since I've cleaned up and I have a brand new daughter that I am raising on my own. Its truely amazing what God can do if you let HIM!!! I seriously want to tell the world of all these changes. Wether its encouraging people to pray for their loved ones to turn to God, or whether its encouraging drug addicts to give their lives and hearts over to Jesus and let him restore their lives wholly and completly, I know I NEED to do something!!!! HEAR ME PEOPLE!!!
GOD IS ALIVE AND WELL!!
CALL ON HIM! HE WILL ANSWER!!!!!
