Some words of wisdom
programme: "Fair Havens gave me a whole new life; a second chance to do all the things I wanted to do in my life. The Right way. It has given me back many things -such as my children, which mean the world to me.'' * * * "Few places are truly of God. Yet I feel that he has touched and blessed Bermuda with Fair Havens.'' * * * "I would say to any woman who wants to have a second chance in life to search fearlessly for an opening at the Centre. Given a chance you to will see the light at the end of the tunnel. God bless Fair Havens and the staff who have a lot of love and who care for me. I'm convinced that it is more than a job to them and to them I say `Thank-you' and to those who got this ball rolling, `May God Bless You in a Special Way.' '' * * * "I celebrated by 42nd birthday clean and sober. Thanks to God and to Fair Havens.'' -- Recovering addict currently on the Fair Havens rehabilitation programme.
* * * "Fair Havens means self-discipline and self-reliance. It gave me my self-respect and it helped me to consider other people's feelings and attitudes. When I came here I didn't have any appetite, today I am eating mine and someone else's.'' * * * "I started at a very young age and I did not care what people thought or said about me. But one day I looked in the mirror and saw someone dying from the abuse of drugs. I knew my family was very hurt by what I was doing to myself.
I was so caught up in the drug world and I never wanted to feel hurt or pain.
So I used drugs to block it out.'' DRUGS SUPPLEMENT DGS
