My names Micah. I was born to a 14 year old mother in South Korea who was not ready to be mom. After birth I was left at the hospital and put into an orphanage for babies. I was adopted to a family in MN who truly loved me. Growing up I at first didn’t feel different but one day in kindergarten realized I wasn’t like the other kids. I felt like I was unlovable due to my birth mom not loving me. I felt this everyday and it eventually lead me to finding friends who would accept me. They were the ones who were smoking and using drugs. I created my identity in that. My use progressed and when I tried M**h for the first time I felt I finally found what my life was missing. At first I thought drug use was manageable but eventually tore my life apart. It’s caused me to lose everything and one day I even tried to commit su***de by driving into a bridge going 100 mph while in a M**h psychosis.
I had a parole officer who gave me so many chances and he encouraged me to finally goto treatment again. I decided to goto Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge on June 26th 2017. I always said I would never go there but while in the program I had staff that truly cared and showed me my life was important. I accepted Jesus into my life and since that day my life’s truly transformed. I now work for MnTC in the community outreach department helping men and women in jails see that they can change their lives also. 🙏
Thank you to everyone who has been apart of my journey. People often ask me how I stay sober and I can honestly say without my relationship with God I truly don’t know if I would have made it! I want this post to encourage you and show you that we do recover! There is always Hope for the Hopeless! 💙
