The Power Of Drugs
The Power of Drugs
For years, I envisioned myself playing professional league sports. Baseball, basketball, boxing, and football could have been my professional league participation. The skills and talents I utilized while playing those sports, caused me to believe, I could have been called, “America’s Greatest Athlete”.
Well, it is like this; at the age of 14, I began smoking marijuana. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, and months into years, I was still using drugs. I used drugs for more than a decade. I swore unto myself that I would never intake any other drug but marijuana. Marijuana felt good; it gave me a quick fix, and never did I think it would bring harm into my life. But the addiction from this drug caused me to experiment with one drug after another. Never in a million years did I believe I would ever be convinced in using cocaine, heroin, dippers, pre-mo, volumes, Tylenol 3’s & 4’s, codeine, syrup, hard liquor, beer, or any other chemical that works against my living and vision. After using all those drugs, do you think my brain system is normal? Wow, marijuana surely worked a clever trick on me. Actually, most of the problems my life faced were because of drugs being in my presence and in my body.
One day, while I was getting high, death literarily became my experience. My heart stopped beating for 11 minutes. Then, I went into a coma, and stayed in it for ten days. While being in the coma, my brain functions were being reconfigured. Doctors said, “If he ever comes out of the coma, his brain would live as a vegetable”. More than 15 years has now passed, and my body is still being rehabbed. Wow, what great power drugs have! After experiencing a horrible tragedy such as this, it left me with only these words to say, “I Did Not Know drugs would cause damage to my body, and destroy my athletic dreams both at the same time”. If you are on drugs today, I advise you to go and get Jesus cleansing. Jesus has helped, cleansed, and forgiven me time after time, and that’s why I am back on the right track. Jesus will either pull you out of the pit, or prevent you from jumping into one.
