I was thinking it was the worst day in my life. But to find out, it was a good day. That had opened my eyes. I have to thank Oklahoma State Trooper Anderson for pulling me over that night.
It was a Saturday night when I decided to have some beers with some friends. I also took my kids over to go swimming that night. As it started getting late, I went home and put my kids to sleep. At this time, I was also having my own fun that night too. I had been doing drugs, cocaine, that night. Along with several beers that were in my system. I was a 9 year cocaine addict. I would wake up in the morning and go to sleep doing it. It was an everyday thing that I had to have, either at home, work or where ever I would be at.

I decided to go to the Comanche Casino in Oklahoma. At the time I was living in Wichita Falls, TX. As I crossed the border of Texas and Oklahoma, I exited on the off ramp. I see flashing lights ahead of me. As I stopped and rolled down my window, Officer Anderson asked me “If I had been drinking”. I told him “That I had a few, an hour and half ago”. So as I moved my car over to the side of the road. As I was doing my sobriety test, Officer Anderson asked if they could search my car. I said “yes go ahead”. Knowing that if they were to find what I had inside the car. It would not be a good thing. Officer Anderson came back to me and informed me that they had found and empty bag of cocaine, inside my center console. As he showed me the empty bag of cocaine, that I did not know that was in there, and said “I could be facing a very long time in prison”. I got scared, because only thing I could think of was my kids. They were at home all by themselves. Not knowing what a bad decision I had made. I called my sister and my mother to pick the kids up for me. I look at it as a good day now. Because if I had not gotten pulled over that night, I would still probably be addicted and maybe next time it could have been worse. Maybe next time I might have killed someone, myself or my kids from drinking and driving or being under the influence of drugs. Then I would not be able to live with myself. I thank Officer Anderson for opening my eyes that night. To seeing
