Pastor Steve Upshur’s Testimony

25-year-old heroin-addicted alcoholic Steve Upshur had lived in Detroit most of his life, primarily growing up on the West Side.  As he ventured into his teenage years, like many of us he began to hang out with the wrong crowd and get into trouble.  He began to quickly fall prey to the drugs scene, which at the time wasn’t known or understood as well as it is today.  Steve developed daily habits of marijuana, alcohol, LSD, speed, barbiturates, and finally…..heroin. Heroin proved to be the mother of all addictions as it took Steve’s life to new lows.  In and out of jails, homelessness, burning bridges with loved ones and a life of crime was all that was left.  The physical addiction to heroin was too great, and when it couldn’t get any worse he also became a regular customer of the methadone clinics.
