I was a lost person because of my drug addiction, didn’t whant to listen to any body. My life was hell on earth. The only thing i knew was to heart my family, friends and every1 i came across by surporting my habbit. As i was living i didn’t realize how deeply i hurt my family. Then something bad happend and i was locked up in jail. As i was lying in jail and didn’t have any friends and no drugs, a voice inside of me started crying to be free and that’s when i realise something is wrong with me. I ask the court to help me because i need help with my addiction. I had applied to many rehabilitation sentresess no 1 could help me. After 6 months of waiting for an opening and still using i got a call from Hesketh King. At first i thought whould this place help help me or isit just some drill camp, because of the Salvation Army logo. The person who called me had a very calm voice and for the firts time in years i actually listen to someone. Then the day comes that i have to leave for my journey of recovery. the firs day i set on that ground something calm down inside of my, i just felt this calmness inside and was wondering what is happening to me. I got inside and there’s where i meet Mrs Plaatjies she ask me if im orait and if i need anything, the firt thing that came to me was, yes i need a fix, then she ask me a few questions and tells me i will be staying for 12 weeks and she is my counselor. Never had i thought that i will be free of my habbit. Today i thank God for all the people working at Hesketh King for helping me. As i started talking about my problems with my counselor i started to see how selfish, angry, out of control, heartless, and never mind i was living. As i started to listen and practice what she told me, i stated to see all my problems were made by me myself and i must fix myself. Then i met Major Allestor Wood he was my spiritual guidance. At first i didn’t know what to say, bt major ask me do i know Jesus. Suddenly i remembered the voice that was crying, as i looked at him talking to me about the plans God have for me and that God loves me, i started to feel this lonley part of me crying even harder. Then i told major about my past and he stated praying for me. I can still the calmness in his voice wile praying. And then it happend, i just whant to be alone, as i left major’s office i got in my room, it felt like everything is coming down on me and started talking to God asking Him to forgive me and that i whant him to be my saviour and best friend i just started crying. Thank u lord for the blessings on me. Everything started to feel good inside of me, i go to my group classes thats where u meet Mr Johann giving the 12 steps to a better life, yor he is a real strictly no nonsense father figure guy. As i listen to what he’s saying i started to make drastic changes in my life and started to see things i should do not want to do, yor my tears are rolling while tipping for now i would just whant to say thank u God for putting this great good people in my life to bring me closer to u Lord. May God bless all personel working at Hesketh King and keep them well so that they can help many more. Thank you Mr. Keith, Pebler, Riaan, Emeul, Edgar, Major Abbot, Captain Yvonne , Mrs Oberholzer, Mnr Chesley, Uncle Keith, unty Liez, Rachael and Liezel.
