I have read several stories of people
that were badly hurt in S/M and several
people who know me knew that I was
starting to get heavy in to it to where
I almost became a love slave.
I deeply feel sorry for those involved in S/M
because all the people I knew that
got involved in it just wanted so
desperate to be loved at any cost.
I can’t thank Jesus Christ enough because he rescued me
from such a pit of evil I was in.
So many people are lost and confused
about life just like I was before I met Christ now my life means something.
Speaking of Jesus, in 1983 I had already
been to a five week rehab
center and AA meetings –
yet I could not stop drinking.
I was driving home one
night with a six pack of beer
on the seat beside me and
I heard a Preacher on the
radio
(by accident –
I never listened
to that station)
talking about how Jesus could free me from
alcohol and experimenting
sometimes with hard drugs.
I got really mad
and reached for the
radio to change the
station.
My hand kept stopping
short of the radio dial –
not stopping really – IT FELT LIKE MY
HAND WAS HITTING
AN INVISIBLE WALL.
This really freaked
me out,
I was sober and
not high on anything –
AND MY HAND KEPT
HITTING THIS
INVISIBLE WALL.
I was not stopping my hand.
it was hitting something
I could not see.
So then the Preacher
gave his phone number
and said those seeking Jesus for help with
their problems could
call the Preacher and he
would pray with the caller.
I have always been
science minded,
but the INVISIBLE WALL
stopping my hand in
the air scared me so much
all my logic could
not explain it away.
I always thought GOD and Jesus were real but somehow
far away.
And besides,
why would Jesus help a Sinner
like me?
I saw a phone booth
and called the Preacher.
We talked and we
prayed together to Jesus and suddenly it felt
like a lightning bolt or
something hit me.
(I can’t explain it.)
I never had the urge
to drink alcohol again
after that night –
and I did not
have any pain
or cravings like
I did the many times
I had quit drinking before.
I’ve been off alcohol
since that day,
one day before
Halloween in 1983.
I will always be
an alcoholic,
but I am
no longer a drunk.

Well said Tim.
No doubt telling
you’re story will
help people.
