How I became a drug addict -Tonto Dike

Actress and evangelist Tonto Dike, has advised her fans to stay off drugs because it destroys both physical and spiritual. Sharing her personal experience, the actress said, at a point in her life; she had to check into a rehab. According to her, having been through that part, she knows that substances do make the pains go away

She wrote: “I’ve been down in this dark road, and I can tell you firsthand: substances don’t make the pain go away. The hurt stays, and addiction slowly steals your life, one day at a time.

The chaos around you doesn’t define who you are; it’s just masking a heart in pain. If I could break free and get help, so can you. The noise. The mess. The broken decisions.

“But what many didn’t see was the truth behind it all. Behind the anger, the addiction, the self-destruction, was a soul screaming for help, not attention.

“I wasn’t lost because I loved the darkness.I was lost because I was hurting.I was desperate for relief, for peace, for someone to see past my actions and hear my cry”, she disclosed.

Evangelist Dike added that drugs weren’t the problem, they were the symptom.

She explains more: “Addiction wasn’t my identity; it was my escape from pain I didn’t know how to name. And yet, God heard the cries I couldn’t articulate.

“When people saw chaos, Heaven saw a wounded soul worth rescuing. When I was written off, God was writing a comeback. So hate the drugs. Hate the addiction.

“But never stop praying for the person trapped inside it because that person is not weak, not worthless, not beyond redemption.

“I am living proof that behind the chaos can be a destiny waiting for healing. And if God could pull me out, restore me, and give me a voice then no soul is too far gone”, she concluded.
