The ruling emotion of an addict is hopelessness. I want people to know that there is always hope in Christ, not emotions but facts and faith. The new life God has given to me is being offered to you too. He is waiting for you. He is waiting for you to reach out admitting you need HIS help. An encounter with Christ changed everything and one good thing after another has begun to happen. I dedicated my life to God, and I truly turned it over. Judy and I started fresh but I had a lot of damage to repair. After all, I did clear out our home twice before going to Teen Challenge. I can honestly say amid everything I had gone through with prison and drugs the first few months of Teen Challenge was a dark and trying time. I was clean, but for the first time, I had to truly look in the mirror at myself and find my way through faith to someone I'd never been. I didn't even want to talk to Judy at all and I'm sure the feeling was mutual. This was my time alone with God, it was a time to give up trying to fix me. Focusing on GODs word, He created a new me, with a brand-new identity, literally a new creation. HIS story of my life is truly Unbelievably amazing.
II Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
