A reformed drug addict Nana Yaw has disclosed how he missed out on becoming a medical doctor due to his addiction to drugs.
According to him, his addiction to hard drugs including marijuana deprived him of his education and the opportunity to have been a doctor.
He was speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm on his experience with drugs and the opportunities he missed.
He told host Kwabena Agyapong that he chose fraud over education due to his addiction to drugs.
He said, ”I was forced to choose between my education and fraud. I settled on fraud because I needed money to satisfy my addiction to the drugs. My eye-opener was drugs, and before I closed my eyes in the evening the drugs were my eye closer.
I could have been a medical doctor today, but my addiction to drugs deprived me of this opportunity,” he added.
He said his addiction moved from a casual user to an addict, and it was difficult for him since he had to defraud people so he could raise to satisfy his addiction.
He revealed it took the help of Chosen Generation of Jesus Christ, a non-governmental organization helping addicts of drugs and alcoholism to stop.

Chosen Rehab Center is a Christian Faith-based organization so not only are these addicts brought in to overcome their addiction but more importantly to vomer to know Christ.
In light of this, addicts undergoing rehabilitation at the Center are always referred to as disciples. A lot of what pertains at the Center in terms of the rehabilitation programmed is based on the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Addicts are involved in Bible Studies every morning as an integral part of the programmed and also particular days are established as fasting days and all these forms part of the Center’s efforts to offer these addicts a renewal of the mind and of the spirit even as they come to know Christ.
The center has a track record of having churned out disciples who have gotten a new life and successfully integrated with family and society at large.
Some of these addicts have gone on to become preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ after being sponsored to attend Bible School after successfully completing their rehab program.
