being pain free
Due to an accident, had to go for hours of painful rehab and got addicted to drugs and alcohol. After encountering the gospel, got saved and surgeon took him off all painkillers and medication. Now free from addiction and drugs for over a year.
In March 2010, I missed a step at home and fell down the stairs. The accident shattered the bones in my left foot, ankle, and knee so badly that I wound up with rods surgically implanted in my leg, screws drilled into my kneecap and foot, and steel claws and plates hammered into what used to be my ankle.
Eventually, I returned to work and kept myself busy. I pretended to be happy. But whenever I got off from work and rehabilitation, I couldn’t wait to get drunk at home and experience temporary escape from my situation. Little did I know that things in my life were about to change for the better. God had plans for me that I didn’t know about.
