I had literally almost lost everything. My house, car, wife, and family had all been taken from me due to my drug addiction. All hope was gone, and honestly, I was just tired of living life. It seemed like I was failing at everything and definitely had no care whatsoever for the future because I had already given up. This program was a last ditch effort to see if I could turn my life around. While being here I finally had a chance to catch my breath and escape my hopeless world and get to know who the real “me” is. I learned that it is impossible to still have a good life without drugs. Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart has shown me a new freedom in life. My eyes have been opened to what real love is all about. My hope in life is based on eternal things now rather than the temporary things the world has to offer. My daughter has a new daddy to look up to and be proud of now. I thank God everyday for the privilege to be a part of this camp. The Lord is alive and well, and I will carry what I learned here with me for the rest of my life.
Welcome to the Our Masters Camp Recovery Blog
The "O.M.C. Drug and Alcohol Recovery Blog" was created in order to give our O.M.C. graduates and recovery staff a place to voice their opinions, testimonies, and testimonials regarding the many aspects of conquering addictions through Jesus Christ and Our Masters Camp. It is a place we hope will give people hope and encouragement as well as the opportunity to hear from former clients about what the O.M.C. experience has been like to them in their own words. We invite you to check back with us often or as we continue to grow.
I’ve spent a decade of my life as a total wreck. I was addicted to alcohol and drugs and had become an angry person which no one could trust. I contemplated suicide several times and at one point even put the gun to my head and almost pulled the trigger. The fact that I didn’t was the first sign that God had a plan and wasn’t ready for me yet.
A short time later, I got very drunk, went for a drive, and blacked out at the wheel of my truck. I flipped the truck off the road and rolled several times ending up in the woods. I was charged with my third DUI. A couple months later, I reluctantly entered “Our Masters Camp.” Immediately, something started happening within me.
I began to pray and desire to be close to God. I could not bear my problem on my own any longer and asked for God to help me. I rededicated my life to Christ and got to work on renewing my relationship with him. I began to feel a peace come over me and a joy that I’ve never experienced as an adult.
My faith has grown exponentially and I have a desire that burns within need to constantly grow and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Without Christ, I could never have gotten my life back on track. “Our Masters Camp” has been a vessel and blessing sent from God. Without them, I might not be alive today. Thank you.
