Yvonne Foong: Fighting NF

I remember John Ling often told me the story of a child addicted to drugs. Should the father forcibly, even harshly stop the son, or should he pat him on the back and say, “Go ahead and do what you like”? The father would scold, slap, lock him up. The father’s heart ache hitting the son. But it’s better to stop him now when he can still be saved.

John also told me another story. A father is having dinner with his two sons. One has straight hair and the other curly. He turns to one of them and says, “Here son, I like your straight hair. Have some chicken”. To the other, he says, “I don’t like your curly hair. No chicken for you”.

As a drug addict or drug user if it sounds better, the only means of my “income� is by stealing, cheating, begging, pushing drugs, running illegal or bad errands for people, and anything that can get me money. One thing that I never do is work on an honest job that pays me – no time for that and it will not be enough to pay for my drugs consumption. Yes, I was bad boy then, but now I’ve repented and have walked away from it all for 25years now.

One day, I had some money (like RM3) and got myself a small tube of heroin. read more
