I've been accuased of many things, however, being a believer has enabled me to withstand it all.  Eight years ago, I began treatment for serious spinal injuries which were job related.  When nothing worked and surgery was not an option...I was prescribed many addictive drugs by a physician whom I am now trying to get his license revoked.  One drug led to another.  Before I knew it, I was swimming aimlessly in a world I couldn't understand any longer.  My mind and body quickly craved these drugs and I was "hooked".  It took a long and painful 7 years to understand what had happened to me.  It wasn't until I lapsed into a coma and was supposed to die that I realized that I couldn't do "it" any longer...I HAD to stop...somehow.  This is where my faith began and my addiction ended.  I haven't once looked back with any longing whatsoever for these drugs.  Has it been easy?  No!!!  Why hasn't it been easy?  The only reason it has been difficult is that my pain is in my here and now...I have to deal with it head on.  Each day when I wake up, I thank God that I'm alive...then, I pray that I can get through the day with all the pain in my body.  There are no answers for me except that I know that I know that I know that drugs are not an option.  So, I pray...all the time.  God gives me the grace and courage to go on.   I have a purpose now and council people who are where I used to be.    sometimes there are no misunderstood answers if you don't ask questions!
