I was in a really bad place. I was broke. I was unemployed. I was months behind on my rent
and I was depressed. I was looking to just cop some prescription painkillers, you know. That's
what I was looking to do. And he said, don't worry, Mike, I got you. He said, come pick me up.
Instead of the usual pills, this time Mike came home with something he vowed he would never do,
heroin. I told myself, all right, you know what, maybe I'll just try it. So I locked my door
and I told Lauren that I was going to sleep for the night and that I wanted to be alone. So I
just took a little key bump of it and I tried it. So then I went in for another key bump and at that
very moment my phone rings. It was my mother and my mom's like, are you okay? She had a feeling.
She had a feeling. And I said, I'm fine, mom. Why? She goes, I feel like something's wrong.
And this was a come to God moment. As she said that, I took that as a message from the Almighty
and I put it down. And as I hung up the phone, knock on the door, a second angel.
Lauren, she was right there.
Yeah, my wife. Yup, my wife was knocking on the door at the same time.
So it was definitely a very emotional moment for me. They saved me.
