Summary

SummaryI’m Marcio, and I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, carrying the weight of my dad’s absence and the streets that became my playground. πŸ“ High school stress, a part-time job, and the lure of easy money pushed me into drugs, car theft, and a six-month dropout. By age 21 I had money, lawyers, and a crippling addiction to painkillers and Xanaxβ€”until a cold-turkey quit landed me in a four-day coma. 😱 I traded pills for heroin when the housing crash stripped me bare, living only to feed my habit. A failed carjacking and a rampage ended with me in cuffs and on a judge’s docket. My lawyer sent me to Teen Challenge of the Midlands in Colfax, Iowa, thinking it might help. I boarded that plane as an atheistβ€”and found Jesus instead. πŸ™Œ Seven months sober, I see God’s hand from my childhood struggles to my darkest moments, and I’m walking in the call He’s placed on my life. ✨
