I had no hope or will to live growing up in Cleveland Ohio. In my younger years I started drinking wine on the corner with my friends. In my upper teenage years I started using microdot and windowpane acid. As a young adult I joined the military and gravitated to weed and powder cocaine. Soon after the military my drug of choice was crack cocaine and continued to be for 27 years. I accepted Jesus Christ in my life at the age of 36 but my troubles were far from over. Several years later after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior the Lord placed these steps in my spirit. Little did I know that it would develop into a book. My entire life has changed now as I serve the Lord in various ministries as a living example of God's grace patience and love towards me and you as well.
