I am a poster boy for "why not to do drugs.."
After a 25 year drug addiction,(bought my first pound of dirt Mexican in 1975 for $400) in August 1994 SWAT kicked my door in..5 felonies including trafficking (cocaine) and racketeering. Next 30 days I went to 30 day rehab, signed divorce papers and sold my business for 250k under book value under threat of feds coming after it. Rehab worked for about 3 weeks...It really sucked to pay retail for my drugs for the next 10 years..Fast forward to 2004 when I had a "come to Jesus" experience at age 47..literally. I walked away from the crack pipe and other drugs and am now 13 years clean...
Side note..Bad search warrant and I walked at pre trial, all my family relationships have been restored, I lead a weekly prison ministry, and just retired financially secure...To God be the glory!

do you really believe "god" saved your life and has gotten you what have achieved? Or do you believe that he inspired you to be a good person.
I'm truly curious.
What you have done is a tough feat, and in truly wondering what motivated you and what you believed in to get through all you have.

Yes this was long but I could go on for days about stuff I saw in there and what it's really like
