Former addict: Drugs were his friend and enemy. Joshua Zatkoff Part 2 of 3 with Anh Le

In today's testimony we have been talking about how drug addiction has a romanticism about it, where people literally fall in love with the substance, almost like it is a person, or a being, and that God can literally deliver someone from this unhealthy love affair with the substance. And in our last show, Joshua Zatkoff described how he had a lot of depression growing up as a young child, and was even molested as a young man. There was a lot of pent up pain and lack of zeal in his life, until he discovered marijuana, like he met the love of his life. He described the relationship with drugs was often romanticized about, and that it was very much about the process of getting high that he learned to love. He couldn't live life without the marijuana, until it led him to other drugs, where he eventually got hooked on mushrooms. He described his experiences with mushrooms as a very spiritual one, where he would have these thoughts that he would ponder for hours, like he was learning secrets that he would think upon for hours, while he was on mushrooms. He learned to fall in love with mushrooms, until he told us that the thoughts and the spiritual lessons became redundant, and kind of boring. Today he is going to talk about other substances that he learned to love and become dependent upon.
