MynameisWalt.Ivebeendrinking every day since I canremember. It was at least a 30year stint with the bottle. Drinking anddrugging were my lie. I would drink,black out, come to and do it all over
again. I seldom knew where I wasorwhatIdbeendoing.Mylie was no lie. As I lookback on what I usedto be, I see someonewho thought helooked cool but, inact, was stupid.
All those years Ihurt my wie and mykids. They never knewwhere I was or what I was
up to while I was away romthem. Crack cocaine gave me a alsesense o security. In reality, I was oneo the most insecure people onthe planet.
But I can say praise GodImnotthere any longer thanks to the BayArea Rescue Mission, my counselorsand to a riend like you. Thank you ormaking the Mission a priority on yourgiving and prayer list even when it
may be diicult or you to give.
For the first time I can talk aboutmy abuse
ImlearningmanythingsattheMission.However,themostimportantlesson is to continue to put God irstin my lie. One thing is or sure, i itwerentforalovingSaviorandHis
tender mercies I would not be whereI am today.
In the past I never had a momento peace. Today every day I experience the reedom and peaceo my Savior and Lord. As a child I was
severely abused, but it was somethingI reused to talk about. I just keptthepaininside.ButnowIm
learning to say Im a survivorand not a victim.Irealizehow much God loves meand wants the best ormy lie.
Thank you or all youdo to make Christ known
to people like me andto the hundreds o others
who come through these doors.WithoutyoutherewouldbenoBayArea Rescue Mission. And that wouldmean more crime and more pain onour streets. Thank you or being therewhen people like me need you most.
From a life of Cocaine
to Life Abundant with Jesus
As I lookback on what
I used to be, I seesomeone who thought
he looked cool but,in fact, was stupid.
