I Partied All the Time
Jorgé, 19
I was always searching for happiness but could never find it anywhere. Then I started to use drugs and drink. I thought, Hey, this is what it is all about. This is what I’ve been looking for. I really believed that happiness could be found with drinking and drugs. I partied all the time, and so did most of my friends. I got mixed up with the wrong group of people. I am a smart person and always did well in school, but all of a sudden all I could do was look at a blank page and know it was due the next day and I had five more to write after the first one. That’s what partying did to me. Nothing was more important. I began to think that there was always time for school, but partying was in the here and now. I barely got by.
Things just kept getting harder. People started to move on and get over the party scene, but I couldn’t seem to. Then somebody took me to a Bible study. I started to build a relationship with God, and I stopped using. Life started again! I could actually remember what I did two days previously and who I was calling on the telephone. God did something for me that the drinking and drugs didn’t do. He gave me that peace I was always looking for. I always thought I was happy before and had real friends, but once I stopped partying, I really found out who my friends were. I know now that I will always have somebody to turn to. Even though I can’t see God, I know that He is listening to everything I say. I wasted five years of my life partying. Now, I feel like I can still be somebody and go somewhere, but I know I can’t do it alone.
