Dit het my gedryf om \u2019n dwelmverslaafde te word. Ek het eers begin met drank; toe sigarette. Toe ek begin dagga rook, het ek by bendes betrokke geraak,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het soveel seer ervaar dat hy besluit het hy wil nooit weer so voel nie, maar wil leer hoe om ander om hom seer te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk het mense beroof en geen genade gehad nie. Ek was \u2019n bestuurder by \u2019n goeie maatskappy in 1999, maar het toe met dwelms en daarna met tik begin. In 2003, het ek my werk verloor en my lewe het uitmekaar begin val.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ricardo het toe by die onderw\u00eareld betrokke geraak, waar hy met vuurwapens en gesteelde goedere begin handel dryf het. Hy het in di\u00e9 tyd Mandrax begin smokkel en dit self begin gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk het so diep in die onderw\u00eareld inbeweeg dat ek geen beheer oor my lewe gehad het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het sy familie in di\u00e9 tyd erg afgeskeep en hulle seergemaak, en baie emosionele skade agtergelaat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk het later my selfrespek ook verloor en als in my huis verkoop om geld te kry om dwelms te koop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sy lewe het in 2011 verander nadat hy die stem van die Here gehoor en besluit het om kerk toe te gaan en sy lewe reg te ruk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk is vandag amper 12 jaar skoon. Ek het besluit om my lewe aan die Here te wei en ander bendelede ook aan Jesus bekend te stel.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tans is hy die leier by \u2019n dwelmmisbruik- ondersteuningsgroep, die Changing Lives Centre, wat dwelmverslaafdes help om hul lewe te verander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOns groep reik ook uit na gevangenisse en skole en dan deel ons al ons stories met die mense oor hoe ons, ons eie lewe verander het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ricardo is 11 jaar later \u2013 in 2014 \u2013 weer by dieselfde maatskappy waar hy destyds sy werk verloor het, aangestel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk het \u2019n kwalifikasie gekry teen dwelmmisbruik en ek hoop om \u2019n groter impak in my gemeenskap te maak deur ander op hul pad na herstel te help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sy boodskap aan jongmense wat tans in \u2019n w\u00eareld van dwelms vasgekeer is, is om te luister na mense wat daardie w\u00eareld oorleef het en nie meer daarin vasgevang is nie. \u201cMaak \u2019n wyse besluit en dink aan jou toekoms. Maak die regte keuses en moenie deur jou \u2018vriende\u2019 be\u00efnvloed word nie,\u201d bemoedig hy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met Internasionale Dag teen Dwelmmisbruik
