I came to CGL last year 2023 and I was referred by the Police as I was currently take Heroin at the time and they advised me to seek help and support from CGL. They put me on a prescribed Methadone prescription for around a year, I came to Lonsdale every two weeks to a month to give urine samples and they mixed between clean and used on top.
CGL gave me my best chance in life, they helped me see that I could live a life and there was help and support if I wanted it.
Lubna the CGL homeless worker from Lonsdale offered me detox and rehab and I had never knew that this was an option. I thought that I had only had two options to live or die and I chose to live and take CGLs support.
I then was referred to Wayne from the detox and rehab team and we discussed the options around detox and rehab and we looked at what rehab's I could go to. I felt that B.A.C O'Connor was the best option and Wayne explained that this was the right fit for me and he would refer me to them, I want to thank Wayne for saving my life, as I didn't want to live anymore and I believe that CGL have saved it.
I am very glad that I found recovery and I feel that my time in B.A.C was well spent. I learnt so much and have have become so focused on my my new recovery journey.
A special thanks to Wayne and CGL, you will never know how much I am grateful.
"I am very glad that I found recovery"
