90% of what one require in the university is not education but also social life, hard times, peer influence etc. so my junking life started from there (university)
I was taught of the much freedom, and sweetness of the university before I got there, two years after my high school, I had been preparing for the life in the university trying to see how I can achieve in the university without failure.
Fortunately I secure admission at one of the best universities in my country to study computer science as a course which leads to celebration in my family, from then much hope was becoming on me and I promised to make every one of them proud of me and to never disappoint them, with much love and appreciation in my heart, I took those oath.
Unfortunately, I broke those promises from my first year. At the university, Computer science was viewed with high prestige. So much regards was on me, the computer scientist which created ego (pride) In me and I always desire to mingle with the rich students but before I realize I became a drug addict that was the second of my life.

I started living my life on drugs to an extend as if my whole life depends on it, but was having less attention to ladies which makes it worse day by day because the only company I had then were drugs addict as myself.
My first, second and third year in the university was not describe or discuss to my family. It was at my third year I started realizing how I have wasted my time, strength and resources on drugs but how to quite was a big problem to handle at my third year I began to experience God’s grace and mercy upon my life which I believe my family prayer also kept me going.
Waking up one faithful Sunday my heart was heavy and filled with the desire for Sunday service which I stopped from my first year in the university, remembering that! I got ready at once and left for the service but my friends were laughing in surprise of me attending Sunday service but I gave no attention to them. I got a ride by a sister while waiting for a taxi which we ended up at her church. After the service she drove to her house where we had launch together, she gave me some money afterward and encouraged me to turn up for mid-week prayers, after having much discussion while eating. Doing that for a months, we started having feelings for each other while less attention was being giving to my friends then I began to realize how I had wasted my time and left what brought me to school for drugs and pride. This lady kept reminding me about life and it implications on the part I was going on and she also improved my spiritual life which makes me see reasons to serve God in appropriate. My friends now became envy of my new relationship which lead to so much troubles, pains, and hatred among us all, but I always gives God the glory that he saw me through, that I was able to make it at last. What am I trying to share? The addict on drugs now is beyond measures which is doing more harm than good to our youths. I know how it has affected me and am trying to encourage us to say no to drugs because youths now are born with their fingers crossed not giving our leaders hope that we can do it even if they are no more. I thank God for changing my life and at last i made my parent proud. This is my story. I hope my life story will motivate someone to stop living on drugs.
