"Rehab - thought I didn’t need it, but boy was I wrong"

About: Lives Lived Well – Wunya Residential Services (Caboolture) Lives Lived Well - Sunshine Coast

(as a service user),

My rehab journey started with me coming in thinking that I didn’t need to be here and was going to give it 2 weeks max. Then I found myself in my first one on one with my TF and found out that it was so much more than learning to deal with your addiction and stayed the full 12 weeks.

In the weeks that followed my first week I have learned so much about myself including becoming best friends with myself through affirmations, mindfulness and most of all self love. I have also learned all about my amygdala and now know the tools to deal with my emotions and sort out what’s a real emotion and what’s not.

Based on this experience, I believe that without Wunya and the support workers, Tfs and my amazing TF, I would not have the knowledge and abilities to move confidently forward to not only maintain my sobriety but also my mental and physical health.

Dear Gidget,

Thank you for posting to Care Opinion and letting us know how your experience at Wunya was. It's so encouraging to hear that the staff and program managed to change your mind from 'give it two weeks max', to allowing yourself to continue and complete the 12 week program. Good on you!

It is great to hear that you learnt so much, and had great staff helping you every step of the way. Keep up the good work and remember to be kind to yourself on your journey of sobriety.

Reach out if you need additional support - we are only a phone call away.

Kind regards,

Lara
