Falun Dafa Helped Me Recover from My Drug Addiction

I would like to testify with my personal experience that whoever learns Falun Dafa will obtain endless benefits. Falun Dafa has changed my entire life! The founder of Falun Gong, Teacher Li Hongzhi saved me! Today I am a healthy man who will never touch a cigarette or wine anymore; I am someone who has a harmonious family and an affectionate wife. I remember that in the past I was in a constant state of anxiety, never experiencing a trouble free day

I became a drug addict when I was 16 years old and from that point on I was unable to control myself. In order to obtain drugs, I involved myself in all sorts of wrongdoings such as stealing, robbing, and deceiving people. My family members were unable to control me and neither was the law. I never listened to advice from anyone. I was muddled-headed and unable to rid myself of the addiction. The only thing slightly on the positive side was that I had not resorted to murder or arson. There is a principle. It is that whoever does wrongdoings will be met with tribulations. For so many years I never experienced even a day of happiness and peacefulness. I was thrown in jail a few times, but I was still unable to get rid of drugs and kept involving myself in wrongdoings. From 1992 to one month ago, I threw away 13 years of my life. It wasn't only me that I hurt, but also my family. My father spat out blood from anger because of me; my wife cried all the time; and my relatives and friends became estranged from me.

In fact, I was also frustrated with myself. I really hoped that I could free myself from my addiction and begin a new life as a good person. I did not want to get my family members into trouble because they loved me so much; I did not want to break social norms as a result of my bad behaviour; I did not want to live a life that's neither ghost nor human, but I was unable to commit myself to the changes I wanted to make. I became more and more addicted to drugs and my health became increasingly worse. I felt as if I was on the verge of death.

Fortunately my mother practised Falun Gong and my family members had not given up on me. This year a Falun Gong practitioner from a city far away from my home came to help, and sent me precious Falun Gong books. That was how I started learning Falun Dafa and simultaneously began letting go of the drugs. Surprisingly and magically, it only took me a few days to completely give up drugs. It was so easy and not painful at all. Compared with my previous drug quitting experiences, it was very different. I thought that my drug addiction was 10 times more severe than before and that this time I must suffer 10 times the pain before I began to quit, but it turned out just to be the opposite. I felt that it was a lot easier than before. It was so miracles and wonderful! Right now, I've practised Falun Dafa for a month. Over the course of the month, I got rid of not only my drug addiction but also my habits of smoking and drinking wine. I became more and more healthy and energetic.

Falun Dafa helped me become healthy. Falun Dafa changed me back to a human from a ghost. Falun Dafa taught me the true purpose of life: not for fame or profits, but to return to my true virtuous self. Teacher Li's Falun Dafa saved and changed me. Teacher said that a man who follows the universal characteristic "Truth Compassion Tolerance" is a good person and a man who violates "Truth Compassion Tolerance" is a bad person. I will follow "Truth Compassion Tolerance" and be a cultivator forever.
