lexicon66 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 HI, my name is CJ, I am going to be ordained an Elder in about one month. I was born in the church but I became inactive around the age of 17. I am now 29 years old. I was an alcoholic, drug addict, and cult member, and other wise a spiritually sick person for a long time. I could not overcome alcoholism no matter how hard I tried I needed booze more then I needed food some times. God has helped me a lot recently I am doing much better and moving forward with God's help. I am going to church again, going home teaching with the stake president. I have a long way to go but I am excited to finally get the priesthood and I know what it means to have this honor and responsibility. When I left the church at 17 I was a Priest so it will be nice to have this fullness of the great priesthood. Quote
