Hi i have been sober for 4years now and a few months. Nexst year july will be my fifth year. I used to smoke weed. And did xtc. If i would still been smoking today then im sure i would have tried harder drugs. Because i believe weed CAN be a gateway drugs. Im not talking about medicinal marihuana. That a whole other story wich i will not go into in this thread.
About 4 and a half year ago i decided to get clean. Because of mental issues, and because i was starting to lose everything. And everyone. I got into a rehab facility. For about 6to 8 months. In thoose months. We had a group. Were we could talk and share. One day their were people with them. From a church. A teenager and a man. We talked about god. And jesus. And about what religion could do. She talked about how she always wanted to be like jesus. And at the end. They asked could we pray for you guys. We agreed. Thwy started praying. And asked for the holy spirit to enter the room and fill us with love. That jesus would enter in our lives. After the prayer everyone said that they felt loved, and all warm inside. Even me.
I started thinking and came to the conclussion i wanted to know more. So i asked my friend about it. Who is a christian. We talked about it and he gave me a cross necklage. Wich i still wear every day. At that point i believed that you need jesus in your life to stay sober. You cant do it alone.
When i was out of rehab i went to a gathering were i came to faith. And evey time i find myself in a situation were i for instance feel like i would use of were i want to use. I pray.
When you use you try to fill a hole. A hole jesus should fill. I think thats the best way to describe it.
I hope i can help someone with this. If you have questions you can ask me.
