five years later

for those that don't know about what we have been through let me recap.
5 years ago i thought it would be a normal day at work.i woke up got high and went to work.it was thur. the 12 and i always like to start parting on thur. i went to work and at lunch time it was time to go pick up for fri.when i got back i was late, needless to say my boss was tired about my drug induced attitute.to make along story short i lost my job and almost lost my best friend. i was given 1 of 2 roads to take.the first one was to be fired and loss my best friend(and in the state of mind i was in that one did not bother me much)the second one was to get help.steve told me i could finish out the night, and it was only after i had alreay lost my wife and kids this was the last straw.a friend of mine told me about vicory outreach and that they could help me. well it has been 5 years i have my family back together and my life.there was a time (years)when i could not go one day without getting high in one way or another.evrey day i wake up and thank God for what he did for me and the people he put in my path to help me.not only did he give me back my family but now me and donna run the kids ministry up here in portland. there was about 6 close friends i had back in those days, and out of those 6 friends 4 of them have cleaned up there lifes and the other 2 are still messed-up.i still pray for the last 2.the point is God can change anyones life.
