I Escaped Meth Addiction. This Is My Story
with Justin Franich
About This Episode
I almost died sitting in a yard with an eight-ball of meth in my shoe, thinking about suicide. I cried out to Jesus. I hadn't felt real emotion in five years because meth addiction robs you of it. But that night, something broke. I showed up at Long Island Teen Challenge weighing 105 pounds with needle marks up and down my arms. A staff member looked me in the eyes and said, 'God has a plan for your life.' That phrase hit deeper than encouragement. It was prophecy.
