I was a drug user, drank a lot and smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day. I was convinced I would die in that state. Thanks to God's grace and mercy I was able to quit all those things and was baptized in 2008. I have been drug, alcohol and tobacco free for 11 years and have no explanation other than the power of our Heavenly Father's mercy and love. I'll never go back. Only forward. Thank you Heavenly Father in Jesus' name. Amen.

Powerful. What this woman went through had me in tears and sobbing, and I'm a guy. We're not supposed to cry lol. I am glad she found the Savior and was able to heal through the atonement. The father loves all his children no matter what they struggle with. I'm a wayward child myself trying to find my way back to the gospel right now. I thank God for Christ and his atonement. I also thank him for healing those who are suffering like this woman was. I am happy for her.

For the longest time I believed I would have to face all of my challenges alone. I had made all the choices in my life so now I had to live with them. I became lost, & I was afraid. I was taken advantage of. & many times left in some scary situations. After joining the church I started a new life. Many years & after getting married, I relapsed & my life became unmanageable again. My believe was, even though I had been a member many years was I have to fix this problem. Of course I made a mess out of things. I lost everything. I spent many years wandering & lost. I stopped praying. I had no direction. It was not until recently I hit the bottom, I'm not sure where that is, but it happened. Fortunate for me, because I cried out to Father. He was always there, but I didn't look for Him, I believed I was unworthy so I didn't bother. Because of His mercy I am back. I feel like I have worth. I know now He did not ever stop loving me. I will always remember I am a child of a loving Father.

We now have 3 three beautiful children together and are continuing to grow together in his grace constantly. I promise that His love is farther and deeper than our shallow egos can comprehend.

The Lord knew my heart and by some miracle twenty years ago I came across the Book of Mormon after reading the New Testament and wanting to get baptized. I opened up the phone book and called some churches and saw The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I'd only Heard about the Book of Mormon one time. I was baptized but then fell into inactivity and now I'm in the process of repentance. I have a real testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I am extremely thankful. I love y'all.
