On April 16, 2003, I contemplated suicide. The thought had a calming effect. The pain, misery, guilt and shame would end. On April 16, 2003, I heard a voice tell me to, "go ask for help." I obeyed. I was delivered from addiction to crack cocaine, heroin and alcohol. On April 23, 2003, I woke up from the first restful sleep I had in years and was quickened in my spirit. While on my way to a halfway house, doubt and fear crept into my mind. After all, I had been struggling to get and stay clean for more than a decade. On May 1, 2003, I heard a voice tell me to, "stand back and watch the power of your God." I haven't looked back since that day. I wrote a book about these experiences in the context of finding peace with God, myself and others. The book, "My Journey: Life after Addiction - The Lazarus Man," tells my story of deliverance from the valley of the shadow of death called addiction. The book is available on Amazon.com and Kindle Books. I have appeared as a guest on radio program "Soul Solutions" 1360 AM, South Jersey, and a national radio program sponsored by the National Association of Adult Survivors of Abuse to talk about my experiences as an adult survivor of childhood abuse and drug addiction. I have also spoken at Men's homeless shelters in Philadelphia where I shared my story and journey to recovery. I am available, willing and strongly motivated to continue my journey sharing hope and inspiration to addicts and their families that we do recover.
