In my particular case …. this experience was the ultimate expression of God’s Grace…… Period

I retell the experience rarely…. Because the impetus for my having the event was the result of a drug overdose …… I hope it not only relates the experience but also the devastation and disruption addiction has on the lives of those under the influence and those dealing with them.

I had a heart attack and was found by someone I had captured….. I wasn’t capable of being a worthy partner……. Stopped breathing on the gurney headed to the ambulance and was revived after somehow conveying I had eaten a large quantity of cocaine. The re-entry process involved a shot of adrenaline directly into my heart ❤️.

In the Interim……. I was in the “Tunnel”…. Which I characterize as a bridge to the next phase….

–

when I have heard other recollections of the experience they have been very similar…….

” Moving through a kaleidoscope of Crystal changing form and color as you drift to the light”

obliviously God had a purpose for allowing me to turn and come back

I would like to say the experience turned me around….  But it didn’t

I got sober 7 years later …. another example of my stubbornness and defiance.

Thank you for your Grace Father and Your Forgiveness….. I would like to say I have attempted to make amends through service work in addiction groups and other service agencies doing disaster relief work.

I have been there….. if you have ….. we got a gift and a chance at redemption…… don’t waste it
