Anja

At the age of 14 I started taking hard drugs...

"With 36 years old, I felt like a human wreck: first alcohol, and the drugs took everything out of my life what we need to live: hope for a good future, and confidence that you are needed by other people. Everything I started — whether this was in my private or professional life — was doomed to failure as I was not able to withstand drugs and alcohol. Today you see a completely different Valera. The never-ending love of Jesus management to overcome my personal weaknesses. This Jesus, even though I have never seen him personally, became my closest friend. There is no one as close as HE."
