Hi everyone, my name is David and I’ve been a drug addict since I was 15 and I’m 34 tomorrow (12th January). Through my drug past I robbed people, and I took cars that I didn’t own, and it’s nothing to be proud of but I’ve spent 19 years in and out of the prison system and to be honest it made me worse. I ended up robbing banks and I received 8 years for that and that was my wake up call. I’ve two lovely kids and a girlfriend that I love dearly and I couldn’t stop myself from taking drugs so I lost them, and it hurt me so bad that I wouldn’t stop till we were one again. Tasha is my rock and she stood by me. Now I’m on phy my life has been normal. I haven’t taken smack in about 3 years and I had a slip on 1st February 09 when I injected coke into my hand and it was bad coke, it was a bad slip as within 3 days I was in hospital and in intensive care for 6 weeks and I got 7 operations in 3 days and my dad wouldn’t let them cut it off.
I came through on the end of March and to be honest, I was in a bad way, but I had my arm. The MRSA ate a lot of my flesh but I’m a lucky one, I nearly died twice.
My brother Mark got on a course and told me about it and I saw so interested as the name is Sankalpa so I looked it up on the web site and had a talk with Tasha. I asked my brother to get an application form which he did and I filled it in. 3 weeks later I received a call from Sankalpa and got an interview which I went to and got a chance to change my life.
I’m in Sankalpa about 2 months now and I’ve started to drop on my phy which I will reduce 5ml each month. This place has opened my eyes to a different way of life. I really enjoy my days here as it’s well run and my goal is to leave here clean and have a better life as 2010 is going to be my year. I’m doing computers that I really like and I’ve made a lamp that I was so proud of.
I’ve to travel a good bit each day to get here and it’s worth it. The staff are very helpful and if you’re having a bad day and need to talk they will listen.
Well at the moment I’m doing very well and most of that is down to Sankalpa. I still attend hospital appointments but one thing to say is I had a slip and nearly died and it will never happen again.
I’m not in Sankalpa that long but I hope to complete the course and be free of phy and live my life as a normal person.
