“But where do you live?”, exclaimed my friend

The Lord stopped me from going straight
to hell

When I was 20 years old I decided
to try drugs

Once I jumped under a truck's wheels, but as a result I was beaten by the truck driver instead

My wife had divorced me, and I was out in the street without means of substance, and without a purpose.

I tried to stay "clean" by my own human efforts, but I couldn't and I fell again.

The criminal environment had kind of romance, and I was attractived to it.

My name is Anja. I am 17 years old. At the age of 14 I started taking hard drugs.

I felt like a human wreck, alcohol, and the drugs took everything out of my life, what I was needing to live.

During the past 13 years, I was seriously addicted, and found myself five times at court. With 15 years sitting in jail, I was isolated nearly half of my life.

After having shot an overdose of heroin in 2004 in Eilat, I was delivered to the hospital where they diagnosed me as clinically dead.
