About: Lives Lived Well - Woolloongabba

(as a service user),

I had relapsed after a few years of sobriety. I called the ADIS hotline and after talking to them I booked myself into HADS to detox then to LLW to refresh and relearn techniques and coping strategies I had forgotten/not used/discovered. They made me feel no judgement, and helped reconnect with myself and others.

Thank you for sharing your experience, libraem73. It takes great courage to acknowledge a relapse and take proactive steps to address it. It's heartening to hear that you reached out to the ADIS hotline and decided to seek help through HADS and LLW.

Relapses can be part of the recovery journey for many individuals, and what matters most is the commitment to get back on track and learn from these experiences. It's wonderful to hear that the professionals at HADS, ADIS and LLW provided you with a non-judgmental and supportive environment.

Reconnecting with yourself and others is a crucial aspect of the recovery process, and it's clear that you found that support within these programs. Remember that recovery is a continuous journey, and each step forward, even after a setback, is a testament to your resilience and determination.

Thank you for sharing your story, which may inspire others who are facing similar challenges to seek help and stay committed to their recovery. Your courage in sharing your experience is truly commendable. Keep moving forward, and may your journey towards well-being continue to be a positive one.

Regards,

Craig
