Our journey together began a little over 6 years ago. Five of those years we were in bondage to the darkness and corruption of the world, consuming ourselves with drugs, alcohol, violence and deception.

Of all my childhood experiences one emotion dominates my memories more than any other fear. I was afraid of the cold, dark world I lived in. I was afraid I would not make it through the trials of life that I was sure were coming. Most of all, I was afraid of being alone. As a result I became codependent upon my mother and older siblings.
