COMMUNITY EFFORT RECOGNIZED IN CRYSTAL METH REHABILITATION

Re: Reaching youths is primary goal

I was once an addict to crystal meth while living in Hope B.C. I now
live in Ontario with my two beautiful daughters. I had had over a year
clean and relapsed October 31, 2004. This Halloween I will be two
years clean from crystal meth, and I just wanted to say thank you to
everyone for trying to stop the use of crystal meth. I would like give
special thanks to some people because I wouldn't have been able to
stay clean with out them. I'm not sure if I'm spelling all their names
right, but I would like to thank Gord Robertson, Gord Boswell, Kevin
Longard, Paul Kehler, Sarah Watson, and someone I didn't always agree
with and maybe not even get along with, but I'm very grateful that she
was in my life, my old probation officer Carolynn Getz, and of course
my family, and last but not least, my mother, Rose Else, who is no
longer with us today, but I know she would be very proud to see the
changes I've made in my life since I have stopped using crystal meth.
