I have benn in recovery from meth addiction for two years, May 7, 2009. I thank God, for upon my release from prison H chose my friends for me and gave me His strength to carry on. He has forgiven me and led me to forgive myself. He has restored to me most of what I lost due to my addiction. The most impt. things...My family, my mind, one of my children. Even material items that were put into forfeiture by the state of Missouri. His grace and love are beyond measure and the more I share my testimony and show my faith, the more He restores to me...the more of my true self He reveals.

I was introduced to meth in 1988 by one of the 'cooks' from California who invaded Missouri about that time. I spent all but 3-1/2 years of the next 21 years high, or trying to figure out how to get my nest high...

I have no will that is my own now. I am living for God and following His will for me. I am striving to help anyone I can, now looking for opportunities to help others like me.
