I grew up in a small town in Iowa and very against drugs during my high school days. I was a shy, nerdy athlete. My second year of college, I broke down and tried pot when I was a little depressed. I was instantly addicted and wanted more and more ever since. I feel all drugs are gateway drugs. My addiction started with alcohol and then weed, cocaine, and lastly, crack cocaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI got addicted to crack the beginning of July of 2004. I was a teacher then and never expected to be so controlled by a drug before the start of the school year. The month of July, I don't think I slept more than ten hours, so when the school year started the beginning of August, I was already in bad shape. The first semester was hell, and the second semester was worse, and I was on the brink of death. Before that happened, I was arrested on March 1, 2005, which was three weeks after my fortieth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the arrest, the next five years were difficult, and I decided to commit suicide. I went home for Christmas one last time in 2010, and then I had a plan to walk into the Gulf of Mexico, never to be seen again in 2011. I went to midnight Mass on Christmas eve of 2010, and that is when I saw the light of the Holy Spirit, and that beautiful radiant light changed my life forever. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are real!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46815058395346,"sku":"9781640964341","price":11.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46815058428114,"sku":"8e96091c-5988-3df0-846f-0687d2435136","price":10.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_955a681b-8572-432a-b3a7-0a7cc1fee8cd.jpg?v=1775575067","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/walking-in-darkness-then-the-light","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
