Joy Sayers

I will be forever grateful to the Well and all the staff for giving me my life back.

I have been in and out of recovery for years, I've had three detox's and one rehab. But being introduced to the Well Communities, and the 12-step program, completely changed my life, in fact, it saved my life.

Working with people and being supported by people who have experienced addiction was a game changer. I wasn't alone anymore. I didn't have to be ashamed of my past and my behaviour, I could talk about anything and everything and realised that I wasn't a bad person or mum, it was because of my addiction. 

Thanks to the program, it opened my eyes to a new way of living, living life on life's terms, it gave me hope. Because of my addiction I lost my two sons, my daughter didn't want to speak to me and I was not allowed to see my grandchildren. Now however, my boys are back in my life, I have an amazing relationship with my Daughter and my grandchildren love me to bits.
