Memoire of An Addict: Choices: How I Beat the Odds

By Ronald Mangum

We live in a world of choices, good and bad. I was immersed in a world of addiction and bad choices. My life spiraled out of control—in and out of prison, taking from anyone who crossed my path, self-exiled because I didn’t trust myself amid the world of chaos I created for myself.

This is my life in the streets, dodging death and embracing my drug of choice, which was cocaine, wanting to stop after sixteen years but felt I couldn’t do it myself. How wrong I was! God took care of me. My mother and my sisters prayed for me. It never occurred to me to pray for myself, let go and let God, until I became sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Everything I endured led me to the point of absolute surrender. This is the story of that surrender and, ultimately, my deliverance. Today, with God’s help, I am constantly evolving into a better person.
