“1851 days back I had lost everything to my addiction. I would hallucinate and run like crazy in the streets. I had stolen all of my wife’s jewelry and lost it to gambling. I was almost in the streets. People would run away from the sight of me. I was desperate. I really wanted to stop drinking and stop gambling. And I tried but I could not. But 1852 days back something happened and I realized I had a choice over drinking and gambling. I have been sober since.”
What happened?
“I found God.”
