While reading some post - I was touched by some of the honest comments. Thus prompting me to tell a little about myself.
I am a drug addict - from age 13 to age 28 (15 years) I used drugs everyday that I was not locked up. At first just pot and booze but for the last ten years I was shooting heroin everyday 5 -10 times a day.
Finally when I was 28 I was sentenced to prison for the 3rd time. I was spiritually and morally bankrupt. One night in my cell shortly after starting a 3 year sentence - I got on my knees and cried out to Jesus!!! At that moment something changed - the compulsion to use drugs left me at the instant I asked Jesus to take it from me.
For the first time I stayed clean while I was in prison - I caught a lot of hell for being a "Cell Soldier". I came out only to eat and lift. I spent 20 hours a day in a cell with my Bible and my thoughts. This went on for over 2 years.
When I started doing my time I weighed 170 lbs @ 6 foot tall. After only six months I won the 220 pound weight class power lifting event in a prison of 2000 men with a 3 lift total of 1320lbs. 6 months after that I won it again with 1425lbs.
I came out of prison after 2.5 years weighing 220 lbs and I knew I was ALWAYS going to lift weights as it had helped me IN SO MANY ways during a tough point in my life.
I stayed natural for another 1.5 years and knew that something different had to happen as I had been between 220 and 230 for over 2 years. That is when I entered the word "Winstrol" into my search engine. About six weeks later I was starting my 1 cycle. I am now in the middle of my 3rd cycle and I weigh in at a very lean 250lbs (pictures will follow -post cycle).
I also knew power lifting had to stop as my joints were already taking a beating. I now lift very strictly as I know if I want to do this for the rest of my life I have to use lighter weight with SLOW reps and STRICT form.
Today I have 4 years 6 months drug and alcohol free. I am not a very religious person BUT I am a very Spiritual person. I developed my relationship with Jesus while by myself that is part of why it is still avery personal relationship - we just talk alot while I am alone. I attend Narcotics Anonymous and they are my second family. I actully take a NA meeting into the county jail once a month -giving back what was so freely given to me. Between God and NA I have been given a second chance at life - and the life I have spent clean has been the BEST time of my life.
I fell into a job that rewards me when I produce and this has motivated me. I will gross over $300,000 this year. Not bad for a 6 time felon/junkie/High School drop out. I am truly blessed - I will be married next weekend to a beautiful women who I met in NA and has 8 years of recovery from addiction.
If you are struggling with an addiction - ask God to help you because I am proof that he can. I have been in some VERY dark and BAD prisons but none compare to the prison I put myself in with drug addiction. I am here to tell you there is a better way to LIVE!!!!
I hope I haven't said too much!
