'' Every journey has to end but when it does a new one begins ! On november 17th 2009 I made the choice to get help to stop living the life I had become dependent of. For years my consomption of drugs continuously increased ! It started with a joint and ended with huge amount of cocaine ! It became so evil that I could not even see myself tumbling, lost in lies I lost almost everything ! My Girlfriend was gone and the debt reached over $ 25,000 ! I was about to lose the last things I had left, family and friends !
I arrived here on November 19 th 2009 and a new journey began ! Not knowing what to expect I was embraced with open arms, not judged for who I was but appreciated for who I wanted to become ! I soon learned that I could not live in the past and although I have regrets for what I have done, I am proud of what I have become !
Helped by the people at the Center, I found how to appreciate life again ! I was slowly becoming who I use to be, enjoying their company, laughing, playing, smiling and most importantly enjoying myself ! For these people this is not a job, this is their passion, they listen, help and they care ! No one can make problems disappear or heal someone but with their guidance you can succeed !
I made the choice to get help and now my journey ends ! Clear body and clear mind I will start on a new Journey, the Journey of my life ! If you made the choice to get help follow the path that so many have travelled and with guidance you will succeed !''

December 11, 2009.''I feel great about the outcome of my sauna experience. It has been a long time since my body and mind have felt this good. I don't think I can actually remember when was the last time I felt like this.
When I first started my sauna time I was still feeling overwhelmed. My mind couldn't stay focused for long periods and my body felt used up and drained.
Now I feel like it was all just taken away. My mind is clear and completely in my control and my body feels refreshed and like new.
There were days in the sauna when I couln't stand to be sitting in that heat. I would get flustered and a wave of anxiety would just hit me. Once it became so bad that I had to g et up and run out of the sauna box. Once out, I came to my senses and went back in to sweat it out. It reminded me of when I was using cocaine and I had no control of my anxiety attacks.
There were also a lot of times when I became angry or in a bad mood for no reason, which also reminded me of how I acted when I was using.
After all these bad experiences I would feel drained just as I did after using.
Now everyday I go in the sauna I feel great. My body is relaxed, my mind is cleared and I have all the energy and feeling that I lost so long ago.
The best part of it all for me is the overall feeling I have within myself. It is almost as if I can feel the blood flowing through my body and into places I dont remember feeling before. And I have a sense of calmness and knowledge or awareness that makes me smile and feel great at the same time.
I think of all these things and it hurts me to know that I'm the one who numbed myself. But, I am grateful to have been given this chance to truly feel alive again.'' J.B.
You would have had to see me at my arrival at Berthier on my drug detox program, to understand the state I was in and the progress I made.
When I decided to come here, I really went through all possible phases. At the beginning I felt weak because of having to ask for help and I was panicking. I was wondering how I was going to get back to what I was before if I couldn't get a hold of myself or control my emotions. A little later, I felt real happy. I had the feeling I was going on vacation and it would permit me to get out of my routine and my problems for a while. The day before my arrival I became totally hysteric and cried all the tears my body could give out. I felt so disgusting and I realized how low I had come. All the stupidities I had done since I had started on my way down came back to me and I spent the whole night crying because I was blaming myself and I was ashamed.
When I arrived at the Natural Detox Center I was at the end of my theter due to fatigue caused by grief as well as my last drug trips. My whole body was shaking and I had muscular spasms in my legs. I was stressed, I was afraid and I really had to concentrate to not have a panic crisis. I was short of breath, my hearth felt like it was coming out of my chest, I was uncomfortable and I was ashamed. I was exhausted, at the end of my rope and it took and it took all I had to stay calm.
During my first days here I was haunted by bad memories. They were tormenting me all the time until I did assists and locationals. It was hard for me to beleive that something so simple could be beneficial but I must say that it did help me get back in present time and grant less importance to the past. However at that time I felt sure that once I left the Center I would still feel compelled to go back to the little bar I liked so much even though it's where I lost all moral sense and all self respect.
The first days of withdrawal would have been impossible had I had to do them at home. Even though my family is very present in my life and is willing to do everything to help me, I don't think they could have brought me the help I got here. The fact that the supervisors know exactly the detox program having gone through it themselves, that they are totally non judgemental has really helped me as well as the facy of not being alone and being able to share my anxieties with someone who was going through the same thing I was going through at the same time I was going through it.
The trips I went through in the sauna were pretty rough. At the beginning of the process I relived periods of my life I would have rather forget and erase from my memory" But it permitted me to become aware of the mental state I was putting myself. What came out of it was not so much shame but a definite refusal to get back in that state. I understood being here that under the effect of drugs and alcohol, it is impossible to get respect from others since I wasn't respecting myself.
Being here I had the opportunity to discuss my anxiety regarding the future with the supervisors as well as with the others participants. I came to understand that I was not alone in my situation and I felt a real moral support which gave me a lot of reassurance. By doing activities as simple as taking a walk in the fresh air with the supervisors or chatting with everyone while cooking a good meal, I learned to laugh and have some fun. Since I got into drugs and alcohol at a very young age, I was under the impression of having never known anything else and that it was impossible to have fun or have a good time while being sober. I relearned to have fun and even to marvel at the simple beauties life has to offer that I couldn't perceive anymore under the effects of drugs.
Today I finished my drug detox program. I feel whole and completely serene. I regained my ambitions and my determination to face challenges. I feel able again to attain new heights on my own. I'm aware of what I accomplished and I'm proud of it. I'm not the person I was when I came in her. I am the person I was many years ago.
It's hard for me to beleive the progress I made in such a short time. But I have no other choice that to accept it when I think of my first day here and the reasons that got me here. I realise that there was no valid reason in being ashamed to ask for help because I know I would have never got there alone. I don't feel guilty anymore about the stupidities I did. Today I know that going that low permitted me to get back this high and I'm proud of it.
If I had to summarize everything I learned here in one sentence I'd have to put it into a sentence I learned here: It is possible to make mistakes and to pay the price for them. But it's no use throwing it away because we only live once.
Today I know that it's impossible to enjoy life if I'm not a state where I can perceive the beauties of the moment. I don't feel compelled to be someone other that myself and I feel no need of being challenged by people or places that don't respect my way of thinking. I surprise myself smiling looking at the birds in the early morning or looking at the river carrying the last snowfall or seeing a flight of Canada goose passing by.... One night a supervisor, seeing me dreaming on a bench facing the St-Laurence river enjoying the sunset asked me what I was doing there for such a long time and the only answer I could find for her was : I'm making the most of it.
Today I consider myself happy and I beleive that happiness is a choice and not a path. It's use saying later I'll be happy or later I'll take care of myself. One lives life today and it's today that we build tomorrow.
