Jason & Brandi May
Hi, I am Jason. I have been involved with drugs for most of my adult life. Like many addicts, I didn't just use one drug. While meth was my drug of choice, I would also use cocaine and smoke marijuana periodically. As my addiction grew, it started to take over my life. I quit hanging around my friends and family, and would only hang around other addicts. I started spending my whole check on drugs and not caring if the bills got paid or not. I couldn't believe that it had gotten this bad. I couldn't function without using drugs every day. After failing a random drug test at work, and my wife finding out I was on drugs, I hit rock bottom. I was about to lose everything. Luckily for me, my work sent me to an out-patient recovery program and let me keep my job.
But my life really took a turn when my wife insisted that I get back into church. At first, I went just because my wife made me. But the more I went the more I enjoyed it, and one Sunday morning I asked the Lord to come into my heart and help me with my recovery. I have learned that I don't have to do it on my own. Even when there is no one around to talk to, I can always talk to my Lord Jesus Christ.
I have been clean since November 1, 2014. I have learned that I can enjoy my life without the use of drugs. I have become the husband and father that I always wanted to be. To top it off, I became a Deacon at Pine View Baptist Church. I hope that using my experiences in life, that I will be able to help you in your fight against addiction; as well as help you come to know Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
Hi, I am Brandi. I have been influenced by addiction my whole life. I was born into a family where addiction was a normal part of the day. I was sexually abused as a child due to the results of an uncle who was influenced by addiction. My father and grandfather were both alcoholics. I watched both of my brothers fight the drug addiction battle. As I grew older, I knew the only thing I didn't want to become was an addict. I enrolled in college and got my degree in human services with certifications in addiction counseling and mental health counseling. I went on to work on a degree in social work.
However, that's when things turned around. I lost a very dear friend, who was more like a sister, to suicide. I was mad at God. I didn't understand why this happened. This gave satan the opportunity to slip in and tell me that drinking would make it all better. The drinking didn't help though, it only created a bigger problem. I found out in 2013 that I was pregnant with my son. I gave up drinking and turned my life over to God. I have been clean ever since and would really love to use my knowledge of the saving power of Jesus, my personal experiences, and my degrees to help you get your life back too.
