There are no words for me to describe how grateful I am to have met you. You made things easier for me during your sessions; The morning affirmations you made us do before every session made me fell free; relieved and motivated. The one-on-one session we had made me to value and choose life again so thank you keep up the good work 3. Mr Lizwe: Thank you alot my brother. I was not a person who liked to express himself but you changed that you brought out many personalities I did not know I had. You thought me alot how appropriate and value life. How to love myself first before loving others. Thank you but you are strictly and I like that ( attention all patients SESSION TIME; SESSION TIME)😂😂😂<br />
4.Kitchen staff Wow thanks alot you were friendly and always smiling when serving food to everyone. Our rooms always clean and doing laundry for us Thank you 🙏 alot. I even gained 6 kg while I was there😄<br />

The second time around I took initiative and responsibility for my own recovery&#8230;and after three weeks again I left a completely changed man&#8230;I\\\&#8217;m proud to say that I have now been 18months clean and I\\\&#8217;m I\\\&#8217;m still going strong&#8230;.thank you choose life for helping me choose life&#8230;<br />
Special thanks to Mr Vernon Goss&#8230;not all heroes wear capes&#8230;!!!</div>
