Patient Recovery Stories: Overcoming Alcohol & Cocaine Addiction
If you asked me 6 months ago if I would be alive today, I probably would have said no. My name is “Jonathan” and I am 45 year old recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict. I’ve spent the last ten years living and working in Hong Kong. During that time I became a pretty hardcore cocaine addict. I loved to drink and I loved to gamble and it wasn’t long before I started using cocaine.26

Carole’s Recovery: A Sister’s Gratitude
I wanted to write you on behalf of our entire family to say thank you for helping Carole get clean and overcome her addiction to yaba. I will never forget when I came to Thailand and saw her all strung out on drugs. She looked so terrible and it really broke my heart to see her that way. The worst part was that no one in the family had any idea of what was going on. No one even knew she was using drugs.23

Patient Recovery Stories: Overcoming an Addiction to Yaba
My name is Carole and I am a 34 year old expat who was living in Thailand. Last year I tried yaba known by the Thai’s as the “crazy drug.” Yaba is an insane drug and I can’t believe I let myself get sucked into it. My neighbour offered it to me and said it gave her more energy and helped her to lose weight. I knew what it was when I took it, I’ll admit that. Don’t know what I was thinking, maybe I was just bored and wanted a little more excitement in my life.20

Michael’s Recovery: A Mother’s Gratitude
I am writing on behalf of my son Michael who came to your center this year. I’ve spent the last 5 years watching him destroy his life with drugs and alcohol. To see your son suffer and not be able to help him is a terrible feeling that I would not wish on anyone. I tried to talk to him about his addiction, well we all did, but he just wouldn’t listen. That’s why I was surprised when he told me he needed help. I don’t know what exactly you all did for my boy, but he is better. When we picked him up at the airport, it was shocking to see him so healthy. He is living with us now until he can get back on his fee16
