My £200-a-night addiction
Now free from that nightmare, Solomon explains how he’s managed to get back his life and return to his dream career. I was doing heroin everyday and after one month of showing up to work late, or not going in at all, I lost the apprenticeship. I stopped the heroin and started using crack. My £200-a-night addiction cost me thousands of pounds. To finance it, I began selling drugs and doing credit card fraud. I went from being a nice, normal working guy, to being a money-hungry drug addict. My new dream was to become the biggest drug dealer that the world had ever known. I snorted so much cocaine that my nose would bleed and the powder, would fall back out of my nose. I then learned how to cook up the cocaine that I used to sell, and make crack, sometimes staying awake for 3 days at a time smoking the drug. Once the police raided my house 4 times in one day. My worst point was when some of my best friends paid someone to kill me. My mum was praying for me at the UCKG and convinced me to attend a meeting. The meeting made me think about my life and I admitted to himself that the idea of starting all over again was appealing. We were told that eyes have not seen, nor ears heard what God has prepared for us and were invited to give Him the chance. I knew I needed help with this addiction and so checked into rehab, on the agreement that they would let me out every Friday to make my Chain of Prayer. Rehab helped but taking part in the strong prayer meetings increased my willpower and helped me take control of all areas of my life. Through prayer I left a life of crime, stopped the drugs and miraculously got a better job than I previously had, in the same major record company. Now I helps those who have the same problems that I had.
