Joe Ervin: I took my first drink at the age of thirteen, and I loved it. Right then I knew it was going to be a big problem; and it was. I spent the next 36 years in and out of rehabs and jails, from New Jersey to South Carolina; and finally South Carolina. l ended up homeless because of my addiction; but this last run was different. I started to do things I said, even swore I would never do. And I was powerless to stop. So on the night of April 17, 2007, I had a moment of clarity. I was about 89 pounds; had been awoke for four days and felt death lurking over my bed. But I didn’t think that God would forgive me for the things that I had done. That night I rolled out my bed and got on my knees and said to God, I know you don’t want to hear from me, but if you see fit to forgive me and rid me of the desire to use, I will spend the rest of my life telling people what you have done for me. Still feeling that my situation was hopeless, I sat outside of the rehab that wouldn’t let me in, crying; when a man walked up to me and asked me what, “Are you okay”. It was at that point that my life changed. He took me to a place where I could get help. And I haven’t looked back since.

Today I have eight years clean. I started making meetings at the “Give up Dope & Get Hope” recovery meetings, under the spiritual leadership of Pastor Larry turner, It was different from the regular AA & NA meetings. This meeting incorporated spiritual lessons from the Bible with a 12 step format. I would encourage anyone looking to free their selves from the strong hold of addiction to attend one of our meetings…

Stacey Homes: This is my testimony that one day, while I was getting high with other four people; I gave my last $10 to this guy and they all left my apartment and it was thundering and lightning outside. I am scared of thunder and lightning. I heard GOD's voice in my ear say "don't answer the door." I could not believe what I had just heard and was full of fright. It was thundering and lighting so bad I got in the bed and did as the voice had commanded me. The next morning, I had an appointment with my therapist and she told me to go to a meeting and pick up a white chip. I did as she asked; went to the meeting and picked up the white chip. Someone gave me a chip for hope; they were celebrating 8 years clean and serene. Two weeks later the guy who left my apartment came to my door; I was able to let him know that I did not get high any more. He told me he and the others had gotten arrested, that was the reason they never came back to my apartment.

That was one of many incidents that took hold of me. See out of 22 suicide attempts, God was there. Being diagnosed with HIV in 1995, and then finding out that just because I decided to start using again in 2001 and my CD4 would drop to 134; now I have AIDS; then find out that its 2007 and I am still here and God still got me even from 2001 until 2007 so why keep on trying to commit suicide when God keeps on keeping me here no matter what.

I started attending the “Give up Dope and get Hope” Meetings and my life has not only been filled spiritually but the 12 step frame work has helped me stay clean and deal with most of life’s situations and problems.
