I first went to Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Sharon, Massachusetts where I went through confirmation. When I got to high school my parents changed churches and I went to the Evangelical Baptist Church of Sharon Massachusetts. While I was on a retreat with the youth group, the guest speaker asked us to make a decision. Get off of the fence and follow one God. I chose not to follow Jesus Christ. I was wavering and that was the choice I made.

    The following fifteen to eighteen years I spent drinking, smoking and doing drugs. On April 15, 1998 I started to re-evaluate my life. But that was after spending over $1,000.00 in one day on drugs and alcohol. I was planning on using that money to move to New York so that I could continue my acting career. Well, I was able to have just enough money to get back home (Martha’s Vineyard at the time). But with my money gone and my spirit broken on April 17th, God spoke to me. All I could hear was, “this is not right.” I listened to Him. That night I stopped drinking, doing drugs and quit smoking. With the strength of God, I did not have any withdrawals and I was clean of my addictions. I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ and made Him Lord and Savoir of my life. No one can tell me that you cannot change overnight. I am living proof that someone can change with God’s help.
