Addiction Healed

[Lance Shaw]

I have spent the last ten years in the grip of addiction. It ruled my life to the point of loosing everything i had. My son, my wife, my house, my band, all my possesions. I went from being a machinist making $40,000 a year, to living on the streets begging for money so i could go get my next high. Oxycontin was my choice drug, but has the price began to skyrocket i started using crystal meth. Then i needed both drugs or i would withdraw. I began shooting the drugs which made me spiral out of control. I tried to commit suicide via oxycontin and xanax. Lucky for me i was revived at the hospital. I checked into the Teen Challenge rehab program. I have been there for two months and i hav'nt touched a drug since. I mean no pot, pills, booze, upers, downers, nothing. The cool thing about all this is that i did'nt have to do it on my own. My savior Jesus Christ did it for me. He took away my cravings, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and all my crap. Now i am living for him, I live to serve my lord. He has done miracles in my life. My relationships with my family, son, and wife have been restored. If you are thinking that there is no hope for you, that you are at the end of the line, remember there is a way out. Stop and take a moment to ask jesus to forgive your sins. Ask him to come into your heart and take away all the pain. Ask him for the specific things you need help with, and he will help you.
