ICU interviewed a former drug addict. This is what he had to say: "Please, don't experiment with drugs. I did and enjoyed it. After that I couldn't stop. I had to carry on. When you are small your  mother tells you not to get into any car because there might be a murderer  inside. The same applies to drugs.

My grades were always good and I attended school regularly. I was always a good boy. When I started using drugs my grades at school dropped drastically and I started bunking school. Eventually I was kicked out of a lot of my classes and even got expelled. The end result was that I landed up in a correction centre from where I ran away three times.

Initially I smoked grass and Mandrax. Then my morality and self-esteem fell  away. I was not interested in goals anymore. Then I got kicked out of the  correction centre. It was then when I started using Opium, which I got at  the chemist as part of scheduled medicine. Oh, I have to tell you, I was  in jail for six weeks. That was not a pleasant experience. Please tell the  people, I started out of mere curiosity and got hooked.

This drug addict went through a severe struggle but JESUS SET HIM FREE !!!
