    His eyes speak volumes. You can tell he is a nice person. I hope he can overcome his addiction

    The devil grabbed me and took control of me for twenty years. Faith in God and a relationship with jesus helped me regain my soul.

    Great interview.
    Showing how hard it is for people to get out once they get in, is so important.
    Your care and respect shine through.
    btw... your voice sounds very familiar. (maybe you hear that a lot)

      Thanks so much for this kind and thoughtful comment! 🧡
      Actually, I don't get any comments on the familiarity of my voice. (Except once, someone thought I sounded like Sandra Bullock.) However, like most people I don't care too much for the sound of it. Trying to get used to it. 😊

      Did you realize that drugs are EVERYWHERE! Maybe you should check out some of the other videos from the US; Philadelphia, Cincinnati, etc
      There is no place in Canada & US that doesn't have a drug problem. Open your eyes and you'll see what is happening around you!
