Ahhh, Kelly, another washed up drug addict. Who'd have put you down for one? Not I? It does explain, I suppose, why you often have problems distinguishing between reality and fantasy.
Seems Christendom is entirely made up of ex-users. Geez, Ratzinger must have been into some hardcore stuff to get made King of the Druggies!

I have heard this kind of nonsense before - "Oh, you were an X drug user." "You were an X - something else." The implication being that what kind of person you were before disqualifies you from being one who can experience reality.
When you come to Christ you stand upon His merit. You do not stand upon the merit of whatever you were as now an "X - member".

lost everything in my life that was meaningful maybe, but that was
not what happen to me. I just got out of the Navy, I was working
as a summer help pipefitter making over 14 an hour with no bills
or anything else to hinder me. I was partying almost all the time
because I could, and it was in the middle of all of that when I got
saved. I didn't turn away from drugs right away, because I was
enjoying them to much, but did turn away from them when I had
to acknowledge to myself I was walking in darkness in the since
that I had to hide part of my life to the rest of the world. If I had
to hide it, there must have been something wrong with it that, and
now that I had Christ in my life I now cared about such things and
turned away from that life style. That happened in 1980 so it has
been a few years ago, but Jesus is still Lord of my life and has
kept me through some hard things I would not wish on anyone.

died for my sins and rose from the dead, and is now living standing
in the gap for us all right now, and due to His shed blood I am
clean from the sins I have done. He came into my life and managed
with very little help from me to get me off drugs and has turned
my life around from where it was going.
