We are so proud of Oscar and everything the Lord has done!
I used to identify myself as an addict/alcoholic, but have since discovered here at R.R.C. that I was just stuck in a vicious cycle of sin. Now this is not my life story, nor is it a summary of it. It’s just the most important part, my leading back to Christ. Hi, my name is Oscar S., and 9 months ago I was actively worshipping Satan, living for myself alone, not caring about anyone else. So I went to live with my mom in Mississippi in an attempt to get better in 2023–2024. After several attempts to get sober, in that year I went through six different jobs. It was the same story time and time again. I would get a job, get paid a few times, then fall into the same cycle of drinking and drugs and spending entire checks on it. It would always get to the point that my mom would get sick of it and start fighting with me about my drinking, drugging, and losing my job again. One day the fighting got out of hand. We were both very drunk, things got broken, and the cops got called, so I had to leave.
I packed up some clothes and left. My plan was to stay in a hotel for a few days and wait for things to cool down so I could go back home. Little did I know I was exactly where God wanted me. Even though I continued to drink for about a week until I ran out of money, one night while drunk I reached out to as many family members as I could to ask for help. No one could or was willing to help me anymore. Most just ignored my calls and messages. I then reached out to my brother Freddy. I had a conversation with him that I don’t remember, but he called the next morning and said he had purchased me a bus ticket to McAllen to come join you guys here at Revamp. I was brought here to RRC where, by only the grace and mercy of God, I am still here and graduating this 9-month program. I came to Revamp a sinner, cross-addicted/alcoholic, Satanist, lost in life. But thanks to God bringing me out of that darkness into His light. I am now Brother Oscar, watchman, soldier in Christ!
