Bruce Lee, Enter The Dragon

I love you, Nyota.

You’ll always be my girl! You helped revolutionize my life when after I turned on you with my Nunchucks poised, like Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, to the ready, and you lwith those sad, beautiful eyes of yours glazed over with tears, said, “Stacey, it’s so hard being your friend.”

Those few crucial words nailed me to the core of my denial about my addiction. You were right, I had changed. I allowed the heroin and the lifestyle that came with it change me.

Not long after, I became unrecognizable to myself.” It was impossible to be my own friend. Slowly, surrendered everything I had become; and cried out to God and asked Him to save me from self-destruction.

He did! 24 years later, I’m still clean, free, and grateful to God and for you.

I love you, Nyota, for the truth you told me even though I was not ready for it. It lingered there and chipped away at the wall until with God being my Helper, I broke FREE!
