I am late from my nightmare years of cocaine use. A typical, boy I thought I looked hot naturally. 142 lb that I wore two pairs of pants to look better. I'm celebrated my first birthday 3 days ago and I can't be happier. I cannot relate to the addicted monster I had become anymore. Yes, it was difficult at times especially when my neighbor and very good friend got murdered by a man I used to smoke crack with . By the skin of my teeth a lot happened last year, keep in mind that every time I made it through to not pick up and avoid my pain made me stronger !!!! God bless you and I'm proud of you I don't know you but on a very proud of you. All of you keep me going you're my family because I have none left but I have you and that says a lot. Love Lauren ps. I want to stress that this was a picture of me smoking crack everyday!! Do you see the devil in my eyes??!!
Wow Lauren, what a testimony you have. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for your words of support for those of us that struggle.
Thank you Stephanie . kind words
You are a Miracle 
GM, I know what you've been through and gaining my strength through my Higher Power, who I choose to call God, He's a forgiving and a loving God, I had to surrender not only to my God but also knowing my powerlessness over my addiction, over my life, there's so much more to knowing the true you, congrats 
on your new walk.
You are so kind Julie God bless you and keep up the good work you're doing to..
So apropos we are warriors Michael and when it is our time we will rise like the phoenixes that we are when we embrace our iniquities and come clean with the truth and the pain there and contains. God bless you
Very well said David absolutely I finally surrendered to his love and his promise that as long as I obey him that he will guide me through as he will guide all of us 
he is the way and the light you see I was rejected by my mom my family and by those that I thought loved me I was always so scared that if I tried to surrender that our lord Jesus would do the same thing so I held on stubbornly I finally have had a spiritual awakening and I'm at peace because that's all I asked of him he loves us all God bless you
