Renee O.

I was dropped off at my grandparents’ the day after I was born, and I was the youngest of eight siblings. My addiction began when I was fourteen years old. I believe I used drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism; my addiction was to alcohol, marijuana, and meth. What brought me to Teen Challenge of Arizona was that I felt my spirit dying and being devoured by the enemy. What I hope to accomplish while in this program is to learn what the love of Christ means so that I may express this love to others appropriately, and also so that eternity really means something to me.
