I was a real bad heroin and fentynal addict for years going in and out of jail for committing crimes to support my habit. Thanks to God and constant prayers and support from my parents I am now 1 year clean and working a good job 👍. Praise God

[YG-vcoz]

I'm 10mths in recovery. Past few days been difficult not picking up a drink. Meetings, prayer/ meditation, reaching out nothing makes me feel better. I thank God for getting me through each day. I was on the bus ready to stop at the liquor but came across this. Needed it.

[vics]

I'm on 6 days sober. I dream about getting high but I have not given in. This was my time to quit. I made this decision. Getting the drugs is so easy. It's around me everywhere I go. I'm still clean. I'm doing this for GOD. He has plans for me but not if I am dirty. I'm going to stay clean.

It always comes down to the Lord’s help to get through.

[okeydokey]

This man and his story saved my life. I'm still a mess with day to day things but I can say I have been clean from opioids for almost 2 years now. Anytime I feel like I'm losing it I just come to YouTube to listen to Chris. God bless all who understands the struggle and who will all cross paths with this evil.

[christianwissmann]

Relapsed over the weekend. I’m so devastated and scared!! Please pray for me!!

[splitdenominator]

The lord had a plan for this man. If you can just
save 1 person its all worth it. God bless you Chris
