WE OVERCAME
ADDICTIONS!
I was addicted to weed in university, to the point that I
would sometimes smoke two to three times per day.
I wouldn’t go to lectures because I didn’t have the
capacity to do so, having had smoked the day
before. But then, I would smoke again and
the cycle would repeat itself. My studies
were failing, which deeply affected my
mother. I knew I had to stop, but I couldn’t.
My mother kept praying for me to be free
from this addiction. She kept coming to
the Addiction Cleansing Therapy at the
UCKG Help Centre on my behalf and
kept persisting for my freedom. Since
she started fighting for me, I haven’t
touched weed again. My mother is
happy, but I am even happier and I
don’t need anything to replace it.

I was 13 when alcohol became a part of my life.
Rum, brandyhat, vodka — I didn’t care what it
was as long as it made me forget the abuse I’d
suffered as a child.
I tried quitting a few times, but didn’t have the
strength to do it on my own. This is where ACT
came into play.
Meeting after meeting, I felt stronger and
less dependent on the bottle to be
happy. Before long, I didn’t need it
anymore. For once in my life, I
finally have peace.”
