Summary

Iโ€™m Dr. Lou Ortenzio from the mountain town of Clarksburg, West Virginia. I built my practice with passion and a deep desire to be loved and admired. Over time, the pressure to perform and be perfect drove me to self-medicate with opioids. What began as relief from a debilitating headache spiraled into a 15-year secret addiction. I reached a breaking pointโ€”feeling utterly inadequateโ€”until a kind nurse, Donetta, intervened with prayer and invited me to church. That moment changed everything; I surrendered my life to Jesus, renouncing my addiction. With His strength, I not only stopped using drugs but also found a new purpose, transforming my pain into a ministry that now helps others find hope and healing.
