I was raised in a family that went to church every Sunday, like many of my generation. I had claimed to know God based on a prayer I made in summer camp when I was young. However, many of my friends had no church background, and since my church didn’t really offer many answers to life’s questions, in my teen years, I drifted away. Like many I fell into the “party” mentality with all of its trappings and found myself living life based on my emotions and physical “highs” that came with alcohol and drugs.
