Dan, God has blessed you with a strong heart for overcoming your addiction. I respect you for your commitment to letting that part of you die so that a part of you can be reborn in Him. A powerful testimony begins with being vulnerrable and sharing what someone needs to change to please Him. That helps me and other to know that we are not the only ones. Yes, your work of building guitars is impressive, creative and inspiring! But I wanted to affirm you because of your testimony. My wife and I support Harriet Tubman Movement which also help people be free from trafficking. Stand firm in the faith, bro! P.S. - I love your shirt Porn Kills Love!
