Drugs and alcohol really did not appeal to me at first (since I was perfect in basketball and I did not want anything to destroy that dream I had in any way); however, once I started getting deeper into using drugs and alcohol daily, their effects got a hold of me like no other. This is why, even though I didn’t necessarily enjoy the taste of the substances, I forced myself to acquire a taste for them because I was so addicted to the effects they produced within me.

I’m humbled by what God did in helping put people in my path, and one of the most significant gifts was to be put into a 2-year drug and alcohol treatment program in 1986, where I finally got a clue that I needed to cooperate. Then years later, good people such as pastor Ron and Sue Sauer, who helped me with my regeneration process, which all started back in 1977 with experimenting with drugs and alcohol, but that is what God can do for you, too, if you get out of the driver’s seat and trust God! ~ Bill Greguska
