I am a pilgrim travelling towards my destination, the light but I have been overcome by the darkness much of the way.
I was heavily addicted to heroin for about 16 years and alcohol has also been a chain around my neck.
Several years ago one Christmas I was at rock bottom. I was sleeping on a friends floor on a pull out chair, which is
where I spent most of my time.
My mother would not have me home for Christmas and my son lives with her.
I remembered that old song 'All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth'! I thought all I want is to be clean and sober
so I prayed for a miracle!
It has taken a while and I still struggle but a hand reached down from heaven and has given me the power (that I did not
possess on my own) to fight my addictions.
I want every addict/alcoholic to know that there is a way out of that black hole, you just have to really want it.
