2 years ago today I woke up in a motel room after finally going to sleep for the first time in weeks. I hadn't ate in days. I was down to about 130 pounds and had track marks up and down my arms. My shoes has been stole and in just on year I had lost my job, home, family, friends,money,self respect and had racked up enough charges to put me away for a long time. All I had to my name was my pants, shirt and a pocket full of q-tips and used needles. I woke up sick and tired of being sick and tired. I wanted to just give up and end it for good because I didn't have the energy to start back over again. But God had different plans. My oldest daughter Hayley Nicole Young who hadn't talked to me in months because of the way I was choosing to live my life seen me post about my shoes being stole and she called me. She said "daddy, are you ready to go to rehab yet?" Within the hour she had my mom Dawana Arflin Fields at the hotel picking me up with some food and a pair of shoes for me and taking me to rehab. That was 2 years ago today. I turned my life over to God and he gave me that energy that I've needed to start back over again. He has put so many people in my life that I didn't have before that have been such a blessing to me and he has giving me every tool I need in him to fight the life of addiction I had been living for 20 years. But the most important one that He sent me is my beautiful wife Britney Young I know I don't ever tell you enough babygirl but I couldn't do all this without you. Thank you for everything my love. I love you more than you will ever know. And thank you to everyone that the Lord has placed in my life this past year. Y'all will never know the impact that each and every one of you have had in my journey. I love you all... God is great!!!!!
