I lost my job because I chose drugs over it – Eric Noah King

Date:

Radio presenter Eric Noah King, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, has shared his sad story about how his drug addiction started.

Speaking on the Max Morning Show, he said that through prayer, he was able to successfully overcome his drug addiction after many years of abusing drugs.

According to him, it is very impossible for anyone who is into drugs to quit if they don’t set their minds to it and do not pray about it.

“It’s a spiritual thing, so if you take spirituality out of cocaine and heroin addiction, you’ve missed the goal; you’ve missed the mark. Trust me,” he said.

Speaking of his own experience overcoming drug addiction, Eric Noah King counseled those in similar circumstances to seek help in a rehab facility only after they are determined to make a change.

Prior to starting his radio career, Noah King claims he started using drugs. Following the Kokumba Nanumba war, he stated that his father, who was friends with musicians, asked them to take him to the Northern Region for peace music after he had completed his O’Levels. His initial experimentation with crack occurred during their stay there, and it was revived when he returned to Accra with a friend.

Noah King further noted that he has been able to stay away from any form of drug for the past 14 months.

“I have quit drugs for good,” he said in the interview.

Recounting his life-changing story, he spoke about how he lost his job and relationship to crack.

“I lost my job because I chose drugs over it”

“I came home one time and I noticed the woman I was with at that time, had packed her stuff and left”

Noah King, who did drugs for 25 years, said his addiction was so strong that, at a point in time, he had to leave his comfort zone to live in the ghetto.

Noah King used to be a drive-time presenter in the early 2000s at Peace FM.
