It was supposed to be fun....

Hello everyone!

I live in Costa Rica, Central America. Today I wanted to share a little about my experience and how I have found relief and solutions to, not only my gambling addictions, but also to 14 years of other dependencies such as *** and C*****e.

As in many cases everything started as a silly high school game, a weekend party at someone's house...well, even at that point in life it was easy to tell that I had problems. I was always the only one who could not stop drinking and eveeryone would talk about this the week after when we saw each other again in school. How embarrasing! Anyways, from alcohol I turned to marihuana, to cigarrettes and by the time I was 20 I tried C*****e. This was the begginning of ALL THOSE PATHS THAT LEAD ME TO HOSPITALS, INSTITUTIONS AND JAIL.

When C*****e was not sufficient for me, after 7 years of using and abusing, stealing, losing my salary in casinos, lost relationships etc, I tried *** and this took me straight to the streets of Costa Rica, where I had to eat from the garbage and ridiculize myself for a coin. Such a waste of education, such a shame....

This drug even took me to jail, where I had to face my deepest fears. Simply because I have faith in God, who always SAVED ME FROM DEATH, I can tell you this story today.

I imagine you are asking yourself: what did you do to stop?

Well, I was fortunate enough to come across a kind holistic center in Costa Rica. It's been about a year now since I got out of jail and still live in the center, they kindly offered me to manage the kitchen which I immediately accepted. The approach to healing you from addiction here is like nothing you have ever experienced. You feel alive again, get to know Costa Rica and yourself at the same time. IN other words, you regain your personal, interior freedom.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and look forward to being of support.

Regards,
