My name is Belinda and I am a believer in Jesus Christ who struggles with anger and a bad attitude. Before starting Celebrate Recovery all I wanted to do was get high, have fun, and be with my friends .
Even though I went to church I did not have a relationship with God, truthfully, I did not believe in God. All I cared about was where my
next fix (drugs) would come from. My attitude towards others was disgusting, I
took pleasure in humiliating those around me. The lowest
point in my life was when accepted money for beating up some close friends.
It took coming to
prison to realize how bad my life was. It was here that I started my recovery
through the Celebrate Recovery program. Today, I have a growing relationship with Jesus
Christ which is affecting every aspect of
my life. I am learning to express my
feelings in a healthier way. I actually enjoy living with the other inmates. I
enjoy hearing the Word of God.
One of the many benefits I have learned through CR is how to talk to God, to pray and to be closer to Him. I feel that I have finally found peace. I am able to share God's Word with others - that He exists and that they can receive Him in their hearts ...TODAY.
