Local drug rehabilitation organisation Laqhakaza Iphara Recovery in collaboration with Project Exodus have united to help with recovery in the community.
They will support group facilitation training, recovery coaching training, addiction counsellor training, family support groups, addicts or alcohol support groups and more.
The organisations also plan on holding awareness drives on drug and alcohol abuse locally.
Emmanuel Msomi of Laqhakaza Iphara said that he feels blessed to be part of this project and is grateful to be given another chance to help struggling addicts where he can.
The project was successfully launched at Church Alive in Scottburgh last Thursday.
The Church Alive congregation, Laqhakaza Iphara Recovery CEO Emmanuel Msomi and Project Exodus CEO Conrad Cooper were thanked for taking recovery to the next level by proving that it doesn’t discriminate by gender, race, age or religion.
“In recovery, we do not look at differences, but similarities,” added Msomi.
“We are all dying from the disease of addiction and it has caused many to experience rape, gender based violence, robberies, murders, basically any crime because we do not face the disease of addiction… instead we are blaming the drug lords, taverns, government, local authorities, and the blame game is taking us nowhere.”
“The solution is the 12-step programme which has proven itself in the lives of many addicts across the globe, and I am one of those recovered addicts it has helped.”
Msomi is seven years and six months clean and sober and Cooper is 22 years clean and sober.
The recovery team salutes its CEOS and encourage others to work towards recovery, as help is always at hand.
