00:13 Welcome back in our last segment,
00:15 we were talking about Sean Bridges. 00:17 His life growing up and this was 00:20 an incredible kid this was a little boy 00:22 I saw video films of him and we're 00:23 going to show roll-ins of some of that. 00:25 But I saw video films of this kid running 00:26 around, and looking as happy as anything. 00:28 And as he got into his addictions, as he got lost 00:32 more and more into that, alcohol, and smoking 00:34 and Meth, and literally started having heart 00:38 attacks and huge medical issues when he was 00:41 like in his twenties. 00:42 You know you met his grandmother, and you know, 00:45 I fell in love with her almost immediately. 00:48 It just the heart of this woman saying 00:50 I couldn't do anything. 00:51 And when she said that, that she just prayed for 00:54 him I thought, Oh your did everything. 00:56 So it's your fault that he came back to God 00:58 So talking about when we left, 01:02 you were talking about when he came 01:03 to your church and heard the idea of grace for the 01:07 first time, did you see a change in him when 01:10 he got that in his heart? 01:11 I saw a sparkle in his eye. 01:14 Because you were saying he looked dead. 01:15 Absolutely, absolutely I could see a sparkle of hope. 01:19 You know, isn't it a shame for anyone to wake-up 01:22 without hope. 01:23 I could see hope, in my mind anyway, 01:27 hope reflected in his eyes. 01:29 I tried to explain to him. 01:32 God sent Christ, not to condemn the world, 01:36 but through him that the world might be saved. 01:38 None of us can be good enough, but we can sure 01:41 to be graced enough. 01:42 And what's really interesting than what you just 01:44 said is for an addict, for somebody in recovery, somebody 01:47 that doesn't know God, cause I felt this way 01:49 is I'm thinking of God even looks at me. 01:52 He's going to be so disgusted, and He's going to so 01:55 want to somehow throw some bolts of lightning at me. 01:58 And what you just quoted was Scripture in John that God 02:02 didn't sent Christ to condemn us. 02:03 He said Him, so we could get a true picture of God, 02:06 the fact that He so wants to save us, He so 02:09 wants to bring us to recovery, He so wants to 02:12 wake-up that joy. 02:13 Absolutely, and Sean, I remember him asking me the question, 02:18 He said if I accept Jesus Christ tonight, because I told 02:22 we needed to have prayer. 02:23 He said if I accept Jesus tonight. 02:26 I'm still a drug addict. 02:27 So therefore, if I accept Jesus tonight and I leave out 02:31 tomorrow and take a hit on Meth, then I'm not saved. 02:35 I said, who told you that trash? 02:37 I'm here to tell you that God can save you here and now. 02:43 And yes, He can clean you up, but He has you 02:46 here for a purpose. 02:48 You know Pastor, I want to tell you something, 02:51 and after that I want you pray for us. 02:52 I just got out of recovery doing the heroine stuff. 02:56 All that kind of stuff in 1979, so it's been awhile. 02:59 I remember sitting in the church, and I sat there and 03:02 thought, You know what, I'm just not as good 03:05 as all these folks. 03:06 Am I fooling myself that think that God can save me 03:08 and I'm like a 100 pounds, and I'm strung out. 03:11 Just ridiculously, pitiful, and God gives me this 03:15 literally a vision of what happened. 03:18 Some that happened to me years ago, and I've said this 03:20 before on the show, but I want to just repeat it is 03:23 that He gives me a vision that was a drug house waiting 03:25 for a shipment of heroine and I was just 03:26 I hadn't had a fix that day, so I was not in a good place, 03:30 and I was, you know, a little irritable. 03:33 So the drugs came in, and I just slammed as much as 03:36 somebody gave me and it was too much. 03:38 And I immediately went out, I immediately actually passed out. 03:44 I start seizing, I stopped breathing, and he gives me 03:47 the vision of actually what happened, when it really 03:51 happened in my life I was out. 03:52 I don't remember anything. 03:53 I came out of it and got high again, but you know what I mean 03:56 What He said is I want you to see what happened with 03:58 all the other addicts that were there with me. 04:00 My friends tried to do CPR, well they don't know how to CPR 04:03 so they are trying to pump on my chest, and all that kind of 04:05 stuff, they literally, I'm throwing up, 04:07 because all this stuff and they're 04:09 removing throw-up from my mouth, trying to give 04:11 mouth-to-mouth, some are saying I'm not doing it. 04:13 But most of them were trying to intervene. 04:16 I had a seizure, lost bowel and bladder control. 04:20 So they put me in the shower I came out of that like 04:24 vision or whatever God does when He gives you that, 04:26 and I started crying, 04:27 and thinking I did feel good enough. 04:29 When I started this prayer I didn't feel good enough and 04:32 You show me that? Do you think that helped me? 04:34 And I was literally kind of angry at God, and He said, 04:36 I want you to know that I loved you as much when you laying 04:39 in your own feces, as I do right now. 04:41 So do not make this a behavioral thing, I am your Father, 04:44 and I love you, and that's what you were teaching Sean. 04:46 Because God loves you, you're going to a stumble 04:48 around, maybe for awhile. 04:50 But He's faithful to complete in you, what you started 04:53 tonight by you accepting Christ. 04:55 That's exactly right. 04:57 That's the only way any of us are to make it through. 04:59 None of us can be good enough. 05:01 and if we get that, grace becomes more precious. 05:06 Grace abounds, and it is so amazing, 05:09 when we start talking purpose, Sean said, well I really feel 05:12 like God put me here for a purpose, and I said Amen! 05:15 I feel He did too, He puts us all here for a purpose, 05:18 and that's when Sean ended back up in the hospital. 05:22 He calls me one day on my cell phone, and he says Bud, 05:25 I've got a great idea, and I said was that Sean. 05:28 He said, I found out what my purpose is. 05:31 Now that I got a new heart this so heart is no longer 05:34 needed anyway so I've got a new heart in God 05:37 But my purpose is, I want you to tape me dying, 05:42 so that I may be able to help someone 05:45 the same mistakes that I've made. 05:49 And God put this person in my life two years prior to 05:53 this that did documentary work. 05:55 His name was Chip Rosa. 05:56 Isn't that funny, God says, I'll set it up before 05:59 you call me absolutely so I called Chip, Chip agreed to 06:02 come to the hospital in between a couple days of 06:06 Sean calling me in the hospital. 06:08 Jack, his dad called me and said Sean is in ICU. 06:12 He cannot speak, he had a stroke. 06:14 We're afraid we're going to lose him. 06:16 So immediately I said I'm going to come to the hospital, 06:19 So I went to the hospital, and I remember to this day, 06:21 Jack was standing there beside the bed, 06:23 and Sean was on a ventilator, not opening his eyes 06:26 not saying a word and it frustrated me a little bit, 06:29 that we finally, GOD finally got it worked out, to bring 06:34 documentary and he can't speak, he wasn't even awake. 06:37 So I leaned down to him, and I spoke real loud into his ear. 06:42 I said Sean, you better not die on me, because God has 06:46 found us somebody to do the documentary that you want done. 06:51 So now, I'm going to stop you now. 06:54 I'm going to switchover, we're going to talk to Jim. 06:58 Well first of all, yeah we're going to talk to Jim. 07:01 And he's using the documentary at his place. 07:07 But I'm going to then come up and we're going to just 07:09 talk to everybody again and Jack 07:11 we're going to close with you. 07:12 Can we have a word of prayer?

11:04 A harsh example of a man who took the drug and 11:08 the drug took him. 11:10 It had a positive impact on me, this should be shown to 11:16 every school child. 11:18 So, you know I'm going to say. 11:20 I'm going to tell, you God bless you in the work that you do 11:24 with helping the us in our recovery and having the 11:26 facilities and know that even in our obnoxious state, 11:31 where we come in where lying and manipulating, you know 11:34 that what you do for us is important and 11:36 it will plant a seed. 11:37 God bless you so I'm going to bring up some of the 11:40 women that have been through your program. 11:41 Alright, so we are going to start. 11:43 I will have Jill come up. 11:47 And Jill when I met you, the Holy Spirit just shines in 11:52 you, and I'm thinking were you an addict, no way. 11:55 Yes, I my drug addiction started when I was 11. 11:59 I started with marijuana. 12:01 I was very angry child. 12:03 I had already been saved and baptized at 9, 12:06 and somebody told me that Jesus saved and I walked that 12:09 that isle, but He wasn't saving me in the way that I thought 12:12 I should be saved you know that things don't go the way 12:15 we think always. 12:16 I did my first line of Meth at 15. 12:19 So when you start at 11 it was smoking, 12:22 drinking, some weed. 12:23 Yeah, Valium's at 13, Meth at 15 12:28 really wasn't that available. 12:34 substituted Ritalin, Vas teen whatever 12:35 I could get my hands on, I was a speed freak. 12:37 My drug addiction escalated until I was 38. 12:43 By the time I was thirty eight. 12:46 So your body really took some hits. 12:50 Yes, yes, I can remember, lying in bed and a whole 12:55 bed shaking from my heart beating. 12:56 Just shaking, shaking, shaking, but not only did I 13:00 destroy my body, I destroyed my family. 13:03 I lost my marriage during that time, the day I came to 13:07 realization of my insanity and where I was March 13:12 third two thousand three at just one three 13:13 I just love that 3, 3, 3, it just really blesses me. 13:16 For people that don't know, it's because of the Trinity 13:19 My husband was leaving, he was walking out the door, 13:26 but his mother, even though we didn't get along 13:29 very well, had told me if I ever wanted prayer 13:31 she would pray with me. 13:32 And that's only thought that was in my mind at 13:35 that time, what she's going to pray with me. 13:37 She lived about three houses from me, 13:40 I took off at a dead run. 13:41 I opened her door. 13:43 You could tell in the flesh that they didn't 13:47 want to help, I had hurt their son, but then God kicked in. 13:50 Because they wanted to tell you your mean, 13:55 You just trashed my son. 13:56 It was horrible I trashed everything. 13:58 But instead they said come in, and we'll pray. 14:00 We did, and I went down on my knees in their kitchen. 14:02 That's Grace yes, yes. 14:05 Grace is only grace, mercy. 14:07 I know what down on my knees in their kitchen and I was like 14:10 God I can't take it anymore. 14:13 If You'll just take me out of this. 14:15 I'll serve you for the rest of my life. 14:18 I will help whoever you put across my path, that was my 14:22 prayer in the treatment center. 14:24 So there it you went from there to a treatment center. 14:27 Yes, I had already been looking for a treatment center 14:29 online and these are like fifty thousand dollars. 14:33 I'm and addict, I don't have any money. 14:35 I'm too busy spending on drugs. 14:36 I went home after I got off my knees, and I called a 14:42 counseling center in Sikeston, which is close to my 14:46 hometown, and they referred me to family counseling 14:50 but in the conversation, 14:52 the man asked me, do you feel like killing yourself. 14:55 I set back for a moment and thought no for the first 14:59 time my life I feel like living for the very first time. 15:03 Yes I know Amen, hallelujah. 15:05 Because most addicts, we feel like dying every day 15:07 of our lives, who wants to live like that. 15:09 You can't live with the drug, and you 15:11 can't live without it. 15:12 I mean, I said they're many of days with a gun 15:14 wanting just to, blow your head off, 15:17 but I couldn't because of my kids. 15:19 You know, they couldn't find me like that. 15:21 So even when Pastor was talking about that hope in that 15:25 grace is that even to that short prayer God woke up 15:29 that hope in you. 15:31 I had a praying grandmother. 15:33 I had praying grandmother. 15:34 Where is Wilma? 15:35 Praying grandmas are huge. 15:38 I went through the treatment center, and I thought 15:41 I hit rock bottom, but I had not hit rock bottom yet. 15:45 I just love that man so much, because he can't stand 15:48 me back up is one of my best friends he knows every 15:51 one of my triumphs in my life. 15:53 And I had many, I was served divorce papers there. 15:57 I knew it was time to get busy then. 15:59 And I started truly working. 16:02 The program that he offered, and I started in on a twelve 16:06 step recovery program. 16:08 But through it all God is at the center of it. 16:12 So let me just say because I want to bring Brandy up. 16:15 But let me just say one thing that's incredible that 16:19 praying is huge, letting people hit rock bottom is huge. 16:23 Because what happens while we do we go on a rescue and 16:27 somebody never hits that place where they are rock-bottom, 16:30 and they will it takes them longer to recover. 16:33 So let them, if they are going to lose license don't bell out 16:36 if they are going to lose her home. 16:38 if a divorce or whatever don't bale them out, because we 16:41 have to see what our addictions to us. 16:43 I'm to go ahead and say thank you and I would love to have 16:46 you back on another show. 16:47 Oh, I would love to come. 16:49 Alright, so right now I'm going to bring Brandy up. 16:53 And so, Brandy when I first saw you, when I turned 16:56 around and I was sitting next to you and I turn around 17:00 and you are the chair next to me. 17:01 And I all of a sudden looked in your face and you look 17:04 just like my sister, who is strung out on Meth today. 17:07 I just want to say, it almost took my breath away. 17:11 I wanted to cry, and I wanted you hold me and I want you to 17:14 go talk to her. 17:15 Take me to her, I will talk to her. 17:17 So tell me a little bit about you, your recovery, 17:23 because I know right now you love God. 17:25 Very much so well, I started when I was 8. 17:28 I was drinking, what was left out of my daddy beers, 17:32 because he drank on weekends. 17:34 So I would drink what was left in the beers 17:36 laying on the table. 17:37 A family member gave me my first line of Meth at 12 17:42 and it just escalated. 17:44 You know, I just want to cry when you say that, because 17:47 can you picture a twelve-year-old, 17:49 a tiny little thing, I can't imagine. 17:53 I couldn't imagine me giving my cousin, 17:56 my little twelve-year-old cousin. 17:58 My twelve year old niece, saying here, take a line. 18:03 I can't imagine. 18:05 So, you are lost, early on in addictions. 18:07 Well I always felt like I never belonged anywhere anyways. 18:10 And when I couldn't have Meth going to school, 18:15 I would do lot of stackers, a bottle week. 18:20 And so what are stackers as people aren't going to know. 18:23 Energy pills kind of like energy drinks now. 18:26 Considers energy pills, diet pills, with lots of caffeine. 18:30 So when people are out there doing it. 18:31 I just want to scream and say be careful, because, 18:35 that can get you too, just like the Meth did. 18:40 I chose to do anything by the age of 16. 18:45 My choice was to do anything that was put in front of me. 18:48 I have snorted things up my nose that did not belong. 18:51 And smoked things that I had no business smoking. 18:54 And when you say that because I was homeless for ten 18:56 years and ran around with some severe addicts. 18:59 Is that some of the things we don't even know are 19:01 going get is high but were going to try it. 19:04 Stick them in our veins or smoke them, and we 19:06 don't even know if it's going to work. 19:08 I remember being at a hotel one time. 19:10 It was four dollars a night, so that's why we stayed. 19:12 The bathroom was down the hall and we didn't have any 19:15 syringes, so we finally look through this 19:17 horribly, dirty hotel. 19:19 Found some syringes in the trash can, and they had 19:22 too many burs on it so we took sandpaper, sandpapered 19:25 them down and fixed all of us with that. 19:27 And I am saying that addicts 19:29 We don't even think it's all about. 19:31 Somehow, just getting high. 19:33 Just getting high. Just getting high. 19:36 And so how did you get out of that? 19:39 How to did I, well I was, I had a daughter at the time 19:44 and my husband took her away from me and told me to get help, 19:47 because at that time 19:48 I was on my crack cocaine binge. 19:51 Because that's a heavy addiction. 19:54 He found Mr. Jim's facility, which I stayed thirty 20:00 days and did outpatient. 20:02 How did you afford it? 20:03 I had insurance and insurance paid for it. 20:08 I graduated, that didn't I stay clean, because God 20:14 blessed me with a treatment baby, as I like to call 20:21 him, he's 2 now. 20:22 I didn't get the message then, until I was on the 20:26 bottom of my knees, holding a fifth of whiskey, 20:31 yelling, God please either help me or kill me. 20:34 either one, and He got me back through the doors. 20:37 I want to stop you, because I think when we do come 20:40 to God with that thing, is please, in your mercy kill me 20:45 because I don't want to breath again. 20:47 And I remember feeling that I don't want to take 20:50 one more breath because I'm so done. 20:52 The people in your life are not trustworthy, I mean, 20:54 I saw some addiction, sexual addiction and damage on 20:57 the street that was huge and saying God heal me, 21:00 or kill me. 21:03 I say kill me a lot just take me in my sleep, please, 21:06 don't let me open my eyes. 21:08 I know what to do this anymore. 21:11 I found God, all them times. 21:14 How, what did it feel like? 21:16 It felt like the whole world had been lifted off my 21:20 shoulders, that's what it felt like, cause I was carrying 21:22 I was God, what! what, I was God. 21:25 Then, through the twelve step program... 21:30 I want a poster with that underneath that, because 21:34 do you know what all of heaven says you know what, for most 21:37 of you guys believe, that and it is ridiculous. 21:39 You are not God. 21:40 And I want to help you. 21:43 I have a sign that's above my kitchen window that 21:46 says in big bold black letters, God is in control. 21:50 And I read that while I'm doing dishes over and over 21:53 and over again just to remind me God's in control 21:56 of my life today. 21:57 And He is going to lead you into a life 22:01 that is full of joy. 22:03 You've been in recovery for how long now?

24:33 I'm overwhelmed, everybody is listening to what he is 24:39 saying getting the message as he said if he has one kid. 24:45 Just one kid to not do Meth than it was all worth it. 24:51 How bout you, are you going to do drugs? 24:53 No. 24:55 Have you ever been tempted? 24:56 Yes but I'm not. 24:58 I just want to say, and I just want to say Cody from the 25:03 first that I saw you, because I so fell love with your father, 25:05 watching this video, and in meeting your family. 25:08 As I look at you and I think you know what genetically 25:11 you have drug genes. 25:13 The reason I want to tell you that, is you are going 25:17 predisposed to addictions, and you just have to know that 25:20 so that you don't put yourself in any harm's way. 25:23 Don't try a drug, don't drink with your friends, 25:27 go out and learn how to ski, take pictures, or sing, 25:30 or do something that's fun, but don't do any substances, 25:33 because you have your grandma and you know, she's got 25:36 cigarette addiction that cause the breathing issues. 25:38 And your grandpa and your dad, the genetically, 25:42 look at me don't do drugs, alright, okay. 25:47 Let's say, we have not much time left on this segment 25:52 and I wanted just kind of wrap up. 25:56 For one, thank you for your dad, because I can't thank your dad 26:01 so I want to thank you that this story 26:03 is getting out there. 26:04 I wanted thank you, that I know, you go to school 26:07 sometimes and talk with people in recovery. 26:09 Don't you go with them sometimes. 26:10 Yeah, 26:12 and so what is really interesting to me is that 26:16 I'm hoping Sean's story affects you more than anyone else. 26:19 First and then I'm hoping that you keep sharing this 26:23 so that people don't use and don't get 26:25 lost in their addictions. 26:26 You know, we are talking about your dad in recovery, 26:29 but most of all, we so are talking about God. 26:33 We do so are talking about the fact that God, 26:37 until our last breath, until our liver finally says, I 26:41 absolutely can't take anything else. 26:43 That I can't do this anymore, then God will not give 26:46 up on us never, ever, ever, give up on us. 26:48 And He said, I will see you with hope and joy. 26:50 I don't care when you asked me, but ask Him now 26:52 we'll be right back. 26:53 Stay with us! |
