When I was 15 I started drinking alcohol. I have experimented with marijuana,
cocaine and speed, but alcohol was always my drug of choice. In this lifestyle,
I continued to drink through the destruction of 2 marriages, loneliness, and living
a purposeless existence. At the age of 46, while drinking, I had a horrific
automobile accident. This accident led me to total my truck, be arrested,
and get charged with with a DWI (driving while intoxicated). This was a
real wake up call. When I contacted my lawyer, he told me that I definitely
needed to get help and suggested that I go through the Addicts Victorious "5-Day
Biblical Counseling Program". I had my doubts because I had tried several
other programs and counseling and none of those had helped. However, when
I arrived at Addicts Victorious I found a completely different atmosphere.
The people were not judgmental or condemning but showed genuine compassion for
myself and my situation. The second day of the Program I was totally repentant
of my actions and received the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ my Lord.
From this moment on, this Program was truly a life-changing experience.
I have found that I now have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ my Savior
and He loves me in spite of myself! I am looking forward to the new life
that I now have in Him! This Christmas I will truly understand its real
meaning, because I have been given the greatest gift that I will ever receive
in my lifetime! I want to thank all of you who pray and support this Ministry!
It is what has made my figt possible. Merry Christmas!
