"I'VE GOT THE HOOK UP!" THE STORY OF AN ADDICT

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am definitely an addict. And just in case you didn't know, an addict is anyone physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually depended on someone or something; so depended one would be willing to go to great lengths just to get a hit of its influence. A day without its presence is not even up for discussion. You are driven, motivated, and completely captivated by the power and control it has over your life...nothing else matters. You are a devoted fan. One thing about being an addict is, as you progress in the valley of addiction, you develop the ability to substitute one vice for another. For some reason, the companion you have chosen loses its effectiveness, forcing you into a decision of searching for something more lasting and powerful. So you switch. That would be me, I kept on switching and switching, desperately searching for something that would rock my world. Violently spinning out of control...until one day...my new Habit found me and it was love at first sight! I was instantly hooked! Needless to say, my drug of choice is no longer in the form of a pill, or found on the top shelf at the State Liquor Store. Nosiree...my drug of choice can no longer be found in the arms of strange men or rocked cocaine (although my drug of choice is as solid as a rock!). Nope, nope, nope...no more of that weak stuff for me. I've moved on to bigger and better things. I have definitely got the hook up! Since I have substituted my former high for this one, I have been on a continual high and the funny thing about that is...IT FREE!!! I lie to you not! I have been mad high for 11 years now and haven't paid a dime for it! I haven't once had to turn a trick, lie, cheat, steal, or kill. My Dealer's cool. He's what we call on the block as being "The Man". I have yet to wake up with a hangover or naked, ashamed, and embarrassed from being under the influence of His product. My Dealer NEVER runs out. He never, ever has to ree up; His product is plentiful. My fear of buying cree (or for those of you who don't know, that is buying imposturous product...being hoodwinked...bamboozled), that fear is non-existing, never to return no more because my "Man" only distributes premium product. In fact He has the only product on the market patent by His very own Blood, promising every user life instead of death, joy instead of sorrow, peace instead of worry, faith instead of fear, provision instead of poverty, a sound mind instead of depression, and victory instead of defeat. What is that about???!!! I told you He was the "Man"! Didn't I tell you I've got the hook up!!! Man, I tell you this Cat's got my nose wide open. I just cant get enough of Him. Since we have been hangin out, He's been like a waterfall...filling up that enormous void in my heart and soul, eradicating every hurt and every issue. Doin for me what none of the others have ever been able to do. One time I had mentioned that to Him and He was straight up with me because unlike the others...He's incapable of lying, and He told me that His Product was All Powerful. Nothing in all of creation was more powerful than what He was pushing. He told me that He alone was able to love me past my issues and heal me where I hurt. He let me know that He indeed was the Man with the master plan for my life and it was 'all good'. I can also consume as much of His product as I can handle...no chance at all of a deadly overdose, as a matter of fact, the more I take in...the better I get. This stuff that I am on now is all I think about morning, noon, and night. I am completely driven. I'll do whatever He tell me to do, go wherever He tells me to go, and say whatever He tells me to say. That's the least that I can do. I mean He's given me the hook up of a lifetime...literally! He has been nothing but good to me. He was the only One who was able to take away all of my hurt, pain, sorrow, despair, hopelessness, and failures, in exchange for healing, deliverance, joy, happiness, peace, contentment, love, hope, and success. Not at all a fair exchange...but definitely a hook up. And the sweet part about this hook up is...I have been able to successfully flip the same product that I am addicted to. It's a win, win situation. Nobody looses, nobody gets hurt. So if you are ever ready to exchange your hurt for happiness, pain for peace, lack for abundance, destruction and despair for a life of eternal security, come check me out...because I've definitely got the hook up!
