"Seeking treatment for substance abuse, assistance with maintaining life substance free & relapse prevention"

About: Lives Lived Well - Woolloongabba

(as a service user),

Late 2021 - 2022 was a challenging period in life, by trying to do the right thing and get clean, which instead turned super messy. Leading up to the life changing event of having our 3 youngest children removed from our care. My world got tipped upside down! Of all the times that I thought I’d hit rock bottom, this was actually it! I have never felt so defeated in my life!

This experience had me and my partner of 6 yrs coping in different ways, but thankfully both ending up at the same point, getting clean! We were asked to go to rehab, but unfortunately we cant just pack up and leave. So my partner remembered the counselling and day rehab course he had done with Lives Lived Well, a few years prior. So we have both now completed the programme. I found the programme is extremely well structured, the case managers are amazing and super dedicated. I believe the 12 mode programme prepares and teaches you with everything you need, to confidently live a cleaner, healthier, substance free life.

Dear Bargins4me,

It sounds like you and your partner have found a better way to exist with the help of the Lives Lived Well program at Woolloongabba. It must have been difficult to have your children put into care and I trust you will be reunited with them soon.

It is so encouraging to read that the day program was well structured and the staff were supportive. Also great to see that you have learnt how to live a cleaner, healthier, substance free life. Congratulate yourself; abstinence is a short and long term goal. There will be good days and difficult days - but remember your rock bottom and reflect on what you learnt and put it into practice.

All the best for your continuing journey.

Kind regards,

Lara
