I arrived at South Pacfic Private. A single 33 year old man, with no money, living with my parents and unable to control my dependence on alcohol and drugs.... I had had enough of life itself and I was tired and beaten. I had nothing left, I just couldn't do life on life's terms any more. I had NO answers. I was still shocked and confused as to how my best thinking had gotten me in so much trouble. For the next 21 days I had both of my hands held by some of the most incredibly kind and compassionate staff I have ever had the privilege of meeting. They all had a common goal of helping me see that my sobriety should and can be the most important thing to me. The Group counselling sessions opened my heart and my mind to a life and way of thinking based on what I can give rather then what I can take. I started to remember that I can be of service and self seeking slowly but surely slipped away. After the first week I was amazed at how amazed I was. To be entirely honest I will have to admit that it was difficult at times, however no one at any time of the day or night was too far away to offer help and get me back on track. I was discharged on 21/04/2019 and can report I still live a life of recovery and I am still sober today. This is primarily thanks to my time at South Pacific Private as my stay there gave me the tools, strength, courage and belief that I was worth it ! You can take every positive corny addiction slogan and apply it to my life ... remarkably, one day at a time, I got better. Everything about this program helped me at the precise time I need it. If you are reading this as to enquire if this facility is for you, all I can say is that it is. I was the guy that read these testimonies before my visit and said to myself "that's all very good and well for them but it can't and won't happen to me" .... I was so wrong . You take from this program what you want, you are merely pointed and guided in the right direction, you've just got to be willing to try, that for me was the most important thing. I was willing to give something else a try rather than what I had currently been attempting. Further to this, if you had asked me what I wanted to get out of South Pacific at the start of my stay compared to what I got at the end, I would have short changed myself. As the awakening I had was beyond what I could've imagined. Thank you South Pacific .... you changed my life read more
