Testimonials

"For around 7 yrs I drank up to 2 bottles of whisky a day, if I was stressed, if I was socialising, if I was working and also if I needed to pick the kids up from school. Warnings from my G.P. made no difference and I began a series of hospital admissions, usually through Casualty. It was getting progressively worse until my life became a living nightmare, I lost my job, my health and finally my Family.

Only when I accepted that I needed help and was referred to the Lazarus Centre did I begin to learn about the condition that nearly killed me and through their program of recovery I started to reclaim my life"

"At the age of 31yrs I found myself living alone away from my family because they could no longer cope with my behaviour. I had been a good wife and mother and it was only when I had a Family bereavement to cope with that I began to drink. Very quickly I noticed that I was drinking heavily and all the time, this is where the lying started and I was also hiding the Alcohol.
I was so desperate for help but did not know what was wrong with me. When I finally got to the Lazarus Centre it was an actual relief when I started to learn about Alcoholism and Drug Addiction and realised that there was something that I could do about it. I have been in recovery now for just over 2yrs and have slowly but surely started to reclaim my life
