Derek’s Story
“A lot of people hear my story and they’re like, wow, you used heroin? Like what programs did you go through? And with my story, I’m not recommending this to people that have true addictions, but the gospel was my recovery. It really was. I’m not saying to just read your scriptures and you’re fine. Seek professional help, go to AA, NA — there’s all these amazing programs. But for me, I didn’t do that stuff. I went back to church. I engulfed myself in the gospel.
