"I remember how nervous I was on my first day at Core, and how the thought of having to go in everyday for a year nearly sent me scurrying for the hills.

"There is something special about Core and the people, before long I found myself 'at one' with the place. I was far from at one with myself, so that was a welcome feeling. It has been a journey of painful self discovery, one that I’m still on and always will be.

The one thing I do believe, if it hadn’t been for Core holding and guiding me, without judgement my life would be very different. Whether I’d be alive at all is doubtful."
