Life: The Intense Story of a Drug and Alcohol User's Overdose

Anchored North shares another film of one’s life story coming to trust in Jesus to live as a Christian — changing into a different person. Anchored North has produced several films so far, and in this film entitled “The Overdose: The Unbelievable Story of an Ecstasy User,” Jeff (now a Christian preacher and pastor), shares about his life before coming to know and trust God, and the details are intense and unbelievable. Jeff grew up in Japan and worked in the martial arts world which included his work for the Ninja Turtles Franchise.

Jeff reveals how he left his wife and family (even new born son) in pursuing more alcohol, cocaine, and ecstasy use. Jeff mentions that the amount of drugs and alcohol increased as seemingly small amounts were like ‘a cup of coffee.’ A trip to Las Vegas and an awful night of drug abuse almost killed him. He prayed to God to heal his overheating body while he was soaking in an ice bath, and in a moment, he also though about giving up. Within a moment of time, the heat went away and his life spared. However, as Jeff says, his life still did not change, and he went back to using.
