‘The truth I had never heard before’

Josiah Chiwakira

I started smoking at the tender age of 16. During school holidays I also started drinking beer. The habits progressed rapidly until I became addicted to both alcohol and cigarettes.

Although I participated in church work at a local Catholic church, I was not growing spiritually. I became a rebel, developed a violent character, and soon engaged in fights with other boys in the neighborhood. The fights were always sparked by excessive intake of alcohol. I considered myself a God-fearing young man, but I deserted the church soon after completing high school.
