During the first month of me getting clean and sober, I was incarcerated. Thank God otherwise it wouldn't have happened for me. I had multiple overdoses, was in the IC burn unit due to overdosing on a heater with 2nd and 3rd degree burns, all down my neck and shoulder. I melted on the heater for 5 hours, how I didn't catch on fire, burn my face, or die is beyond me. BEYOND me, Jesus saved me. After multiple attempts of suicide, and after quarantineing in a jail cell for weeks, I had something happen to Me that is out of this world. An experience of another realm I'm telling you, what I experienced with GOD is so intense I wish I could explain it in words but I'm not capable of doing that neither is this keyboard. I was face to face with DEATH, and what I seen in those last moments of my life (I kept dying and coming back) was something none of us is able to comprehend. It literally shook me. So I picked up the Bible, had never read it a day in my life, but I needed answers. And there is one verse that spoke to me, GOD spoke to me, but I wanted to post about it, I feel keeping what GOD did for me to myself would be absolutely selfish and in active addiction I was nothing but selfish. I CANNOT keep my story of redemption to myself,and I'm so truly passionate about this,, it changed my life In ways I wish I could share with any and everyone. Anyways.. there was a verse that I came acrossed " he brought them up out of the darkness, the utter darkness and broke away their chains" PSALM 107:14 ... my chains of addiction and the hell and death i was in and out of. Here is a glimpse of HOPE for anyone who's in the dark like I was, H.O.ld.O.n.P.ain.E.nds
