Robert & Alicia Happoldt
Enterprise, AL
I am 47 years old and my wife is 46, we were drug users and dealers most of our lives. My wife and I started using meth in 1998 and by 2000 we were on our way to prison for trafficking in methamphetamine. By then we had lost everything we owned. While in prison we both gave our lives to Jesus Christ. Once released, we joined the Heaven’s Saints Motorcycle Ministry. We go to jails and give our testimonies of how we overcame our drug addictions and also speak to churches and church youth groups and anywhere else we are invited to speak. You can recover from meth addiction by rehab and a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We now live a very exciting and challenging life without drugs. I have 4 years and 7 months clean time and my wife has 4 years clean time, you can recover and have a good life. God Bless you all.
