Id like to share my story how OJA truly saved my life:

I’m proud to say that today is my 82nd day clean and sober, and I never thought I would be saying that with a TRUE smile on my face!! Going back to about July 6th I got a phone call from on the other end of the phone was a man who requested to meet with me. My response as a user was “SURE”, well I never met him.
The next day I get a call its the same man, I can hear the smile on his face, and again asked if he can meet with me, well again I said “SURE”, well I was to high to ever make it. This went on for a week and a half. Now a week and a half went by and I was sitting on my bed nodding out (because I just smoked up and snorted a concoction of things) and the thought of this guy came to me.
I said to myself “WOW!! this guy must really care, he is the first person in my life again IN MY LIFE that didn’t and wasn’t willing to give up on me. So I decided to go and meet him. Now I come in to meet a jolly happy man who tells me he himself once used.. Now as an addict I thought ” haha what a sales pitch but he is definitely full of shit.
Well after talking for an hour (and I came to him so high on oxy’s) we were done. He shook my hand and looked at me and said one word…”Heroin”??…. when he said that I knew he was ligit. (for those who don’t know oxy and heroin go hand in hand. Now knowledge to me is nice but doesn’t faze me. what got me to go forward and listen to this mans advice was the feeling. (I have been to other counselors and what not but they were all a bunch of slogans and books they weren’t people if you know what I mean)
I felt that when I spoke to him and I was in pain he too was in pain and when I smiled he smiled with me and it wasn’t a show!!!!
As an addict you know when some one is real or not YOU CANT FOOL AN ADDICT!!!!!
Well about two weeks after that, I hit my bottom!!! I was tripping acid while on Molly’s smoked up and on Addy’s and I felt death!! (for the 4th time) I was happy I wanted to die, My fear was I might not die and if I don’t I totally ran out of money and used up all the people I can borrow from SO I WAS SCREWED!!!
So I got home and I am tripping face!! and I have this thought that when I come down from this trip I am going to kill myself!! 20 min later I text this guy “is there such a thing as a 10 day rehab??” he texts me back “ I will be outside your house in 5 min.” This is on a Friday Aug 6th. 5 min later literally he is outside.. he tells me go into your house get some clothing were going to take a ride. Me as an addict tell him NO!! He tells me “WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE!!!!
I was stuck, he got me!! I had NOTHING to lose.
So I get some clothing and hop into his car ! 15-20 min after we start driving I tell him ” I’m sorry I made you crazy but I overreacted please take me back home!!!!
He again tells me “Lets just check it out (and I’m tripping hard) so an hour and a half later I pull up to detox…15 min later I’m in and settled!!
That Sunday guess who comes to visit me This Tzaddik but not only is he there to visit me he is there with a bag full of food, challas, grape juice, cake, snacks…..you name it, it was in there. 10 days later I was released. Guess what he was there to pick me up. Not only that he drove me and got me into Rehab which is a whole story in itself. Every Sunday he came to visit me in rehab (48 days) food, if I had any problem he was there ( a two hour drive just to get there)
WHEN I SAY I OWE HIM (OJA) my life I truly mean it!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

A very grateful recovering addict
