I’m Finally Sharing My Story: 20 Years After Meth Addiction
with Justin Franich
I grew up in a good Christian home, and that's what makes my meth addiction testimony hit different. I wasn't raised in chaos. But I still ended up chasing identity in all the wrong places. I dropped out. I spiraled. I was running hard and dying slow. Detoxing at 110 pounds in the back of a van. God sent a man in Long Island who didn't see what I was. He saw what I could be. Two decades later, I can say this with a clear mind. My marriage. My four daughters. Ministry. Restoration.
