God chose you for this path. You were fallen- yet NEVER gave up. I believe in my heart of hearts that the burdens we endure are given to us because only one who has lived thru something- can possibly understand & help those who find themselves lost on the same dark path. You are now a light shining in darkness only you & others like you have lived thru. You are HOPE. May God bless you & keep you close to his heart. My brother, rest his soul, had a story so similar to your own. Sadly, he was unable to keep fighting- he's home with God now. I believe he is helping from the other side. God bless!

I am very sorry to hear about your brother. Thank you so much for the kind words.

Thank you for sharing. My brother has been an Opioid addict for over 5 years. Heroin is his DOT. Good soul, just one of the many who just cant defeat this demon. So many cycles of detox, state funded 30 day rehabs, 90 days sober living home....Repeat. I hate that he is too ashamed to look at me. I hate feeling guilty when I have to say no to his begging & pleading for money. I hate feeling guilty for having a sober life where I am able to experience all of the wonderful blessings I have, and that he may never know. I hate what it has done to him, to our family, to this country. 😞

It is an epidemic beyond any ive ever seen. My entire family other than my father(which is divorced from my mother) still abuses pain medicine. Me and my dad are the only two out of 20+ family members that is living a clean life. It breaks my heart because i havent seen anyone in my family for over 6 years. Ive tried to help them, with no success. All they give me is excuses on why they cant stop..they fail to remember, I was there...I was worse than them and i was able to do it. They have nothing to push them. Its sad. I may be clean now but i still deal with the repercussions of that life.

He drove me 1 1/2 hrs to another county once a week for 4 months so I could complete the probation that I was on. I reconnected with a woman I dated for a short period in middle school and I got a job at a plumbing company and moved in with her. Fast forward 6 years...we are still together we have 5 clidren between us both and now I am a licensed plumber and I own my own company. Havent looked back. So yes, If you ask for GOD to help, he will take you on a wild ride but its the ride you were meant to take.

We never understand the path, well, I should say the detours we take in life but when we have Faith in the Lord he will bring us through them, going through these trials in Life Only brings us Closer to God.. ☺️

Thank you for telling your story. It gives me hope. God bless you and yours,
