Enjoyed reading another example of someone who has gone through drug abuse and is choosing to overcome the addiction. David, good luck and know that others have been exactly where you have been and have gone on to do well again in their lives. It is a tough "uphill" road, but one you can win! I hope you attend support meetings not only for yourself, but to inspire others who are just beginning their road back! Again, best wishes with your career and life!

I can't say I entirely understand. But I can say that everyone has challenges. Never give up! Never!

Good job David! I have seen you at church and am inspired by your story! The Lord loves you and so do the people around you! Keep the good fight friend! Many people suffer with struggles that are not as visible, but your honesty and openness about what you are facing is inspiring to those of us who keep our trials hidden. --- Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you in your recovery.

Don't give up, the Lord is there at all times wiling to help.

Interesting story | 1:16 a.m. June 28, 2009

The story has a great deal of value that a book might beable to better tell. I would hope that someone has/will documented the start, middle and end of your ascents and declines. This would make a good visual documentary as well, because many people take a dive, but few wear it on their face in such a visual way. I'm thinking of Michael Jackson right now, he altered his face for the demons inside. I think your story will have a much better ending.

Who are we to judge? Other than that, no comment, I wish you well, we all do things we wish we hadn't. I have done more than my share, they just aren't as visible!

David, have really enjoyed having you in the local race scene and the couple of times I've been able to chat with you. Good luck in the TOU and keep the rubber side down.

"lost to drug abuse and other self-destructive behaviors" -- sorry about the face.

>Everybody deserves another chance in life.

No we don't, but the Savior gives it to us anyway. That's why we should be eternally grateful.
