Путь к свободе

My parents always wanted nothing but good for me. But since I was a child, I have had some kind of rebellion against the rules and principles that I thought I wanted to impose. In the summer of 15 I began to communicate with the guys who had money from the apartment and pocket thefts. This fun, adrenaline-fuelled life has fascinated me so much that I didn't want to be. In school and the neighborhood I grew up in, I did everything I wanted to do. I was scared and jealous, which gave me great pleasure. That was the first time I tried a drug without realizing I was trapped.

   But eventually I learned that my husband himself began to stab and there were scandals, misunderstandings. The birth of a daughter did not save our family - I could not give up the drug, my husband also continued to puncture. As a result, we got divorced. We could meet, stab together with friends, as if there was no family. Often we'd gather in the kitchen and lock our daughter in her room or send her out for a walk. Pretending to be still very strong and I was doing well, I was really weak and alone. I was aware of my hopelessness and needed help and support, but I also knew for sure that no one else could help me. I was just living through it.

  I came to God when I was completely tired of life. When I came to church, I had some heroin with me. They prayed for me, and when we got home, we made it. When I got stoned, I knew something had happened - I didn't get "smoked" in the morning. Things had changed since that morning. I came to the center - with a bunch of pains, tired, not understanding anything and not trusting anyone. I was already completely devastated.

   Jesus Christ has completely changed my life. Now I am completely drug-free, my husband has also come to the Lord, and our family is reunited and we are happy. We have excellent relationships with our loved ones and I have also recovered from my profession. If you are in some kind of dependency today, trust in God and His powerful power will free you. Today, Jesus Christ gives you hope, grab hold of it, and He will restore you to life.
