I initially came to Aiping Wang Fulepp because I had been unwell for about five years. I had a lot of problems with my bowels and bladder, with painful urination and very loose bowels.
I saw a doctor about five years ago and she just told me to stop drinking beer and to come back in six months. This wasn’t really the answer I was looking for. I saw a nutritionist and changed my diet but it didn’t have a major effect. Then I went to see an acupuncturist and started doing yoga and gave up drinking.
I have been taking a lot drugs for ten years, including cocaine, ecstasy, smoking pot every day and smoking cigarettes as well. I came across Aiping Wang Fulepp by doing Yoga as it had opened my mind a lot. I wanted to cure myself in another way besides going to the doctor.
A typical week
I would get up on Monday morning and roll a joint before going to work and then maybe smoke another during the day. Then I would smoke five to eight joints in the evening. That routine lasted from Monday to Thursday.
Friday afternoon at work, I would start doing cocaine and this would last until seven or eight. After that I would go out drinking and then stay out for most of the night drinking, doing cocaine and maybe doing some ecstasy. I would get a few hours of sleep and then do the same thing on Saturday during the day and night and mostly on Sundays as well. That takes us back to Monday. I felt a bit rough on Monday through to Wednesday or Thursday but I would feel better by Friday and then back out onto the town.
First Session…
When I first came to Centre I felt straight away more content and happy with myself.
Two Weeks…
And within about two weeks, I found that I had just completely given up smoking, cigarettes and smoking dope, which is something I have been doing for a long time. And then I was still going out drinking. I didn’t come to Centre for a couple of weeks and one night went out drinking and took an ecstasy tablet and I felt terrible again.
One month…
Within about a month I felt no desire to do any drugs or drink any alcohol.
Three months…
It’s been about three months now that I haven’t touched any alcohol, smoked any cigarettes or dope, or taken any class A drugs. I don’t feel any desire or need to. I feel so much happier and so much more content with myself. I look at people who smoke now and I wonder why they do that to themselves. This has been quite a dramatic change in a short period of time.
My physical condition has improved quite dramatically. My bowels are much better. I had liver spots quite badly for about two or three months and they have cleared up. I have become much clearer, more focused on what I want to be doing and feeling really content. Before that I wanted to escape by smoking and taking drugs. Now I am much more happy and content.
