I had been taking recreational drugs for sometime. I had a good job and was well paid which allowed me to ‘party’ on the weekends. At the time I thought it was just fun and couldn’t wait for the weekend to come around so that I could ‘get on it!’ I was o.k for a few years but finally the continual social drug use subtly started to ruin my life. I realized that everything in my life revolved around drugs. It was subtle, but I was addicted. I would get angry if I couldn’t get them and my legs would quiver with excitement when I did. I couldn’t go out or socialize without party drugs, all my friends took drugs and I couldn’t relate to anyone on a social level unless they were ‘off their face’.

I didn’t know where to go for help until I was advised to see Helen by a family member that had witnessed my slow, subtle but destructive downward slide. By understanding The Selfish Self in me, and with Helen’s guidance and support, I have now been drug free for eighteen months and have finally got control back in my life.
