Michael McAndrews’ Testimony

First of all I’d like to thank my Lord Jesus Christ for my salvation. Most of my life from an early age I’ve been addicted to drugs and alcohol. First it was just alcohol, and then pot. And then next I started crystal meth. I thought at the time that I had it all under control because I always held down a job. Then later on in my early 20’s I started to get into trouble. As soon as I would get out of jail and get off of probation, I would start the same thing over again. In my late 20’s I was in a relationship with a beautiful woman and we had a daughter. I thought this was the perfect time for me to get it together and get sober. But I would only be able to quit for a while and then I would always go back to the dope. So a few years later, my ex had enough and ended up marrying another man. They moved away and I didn’t see my daughter for years after that.

Meanwhile I’m still using drugs. Fast forward to my 40’s, I got busted for the last time and the judge wanted to send me to prison for 4 years. By the grace of God I got prop 36 and probation. At that time I decided if I was going to stay out of prison I had to quit doing meth and I did. I’ve been clean from it for 11 years. But at that time I switched from meth to alcohol. And for the last 11 years, alcohol has done a pretty good job of screwing up my life. I came to this program broken. But now that I see that Jesus died for my sins, I can put away the desires of my flesh and start living for him. And that’s what I’m going to do. Amen.
