78. Live from London - Meet John - GO AFTER IT!
Episode description
The devastatingly difficult story from childhood and beyond. John's story is laden with difficulties - and HOPE! He speaks of the insanity of growing up in a low-income area on the south side of London, rife with abuse, alcoholism and so much more. By age 11, he no longer wanted to be alive and attempted taking his own life.
Gratefully, he was unsuccessful, but the trauma would continue - for many years. He began 'ducking and diving' as he calls it, getting into the criminality side of life with drugs and alcohol at the center.
His quote, "addiction is a liar - it doesn't tell you what you are - only what you aren't" struck me. While not wanting to be the person he'd become, he found himself hiding in the back of a church, where he felt safe...and where he met God. Let's go listen to the story as he tells it!
