Lisa Has A Great Victory In Chemical Recovery Ministry
My name is Lisa. I grew up in a typical middle-class home in Central New York. My parents gave me anything I could have ever wanted to be happy. I started piano lessons when I was four, I always made straight A’s in school while on the honor roll, I went to church several days a week faithfully, and always acted appropriately in public. With a life like this, you would have been very surprised to ever believe that a girl like me could have any reason to want to abuse substances, yet alone have an addiction to them.
At the age of 13, I began a habit of sneaking out of my parents’ home with a whiskey bottle in hand, stolen from my father’s basement. This would start a vicious cycle of heavy drinking and many unfortunate consequences that followed with such a lifestyle. I mastered the art of leading a double life. I continued to fool people into believing that my life was all that it had appeared to be, but when night would fall, I would proceed to engage in the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs in a manner not usual for a girl so young.
