The Choose Life Project has more than six hundred volunteers, many of whom have been with us for over ten years. Each of them is a former recovered addict, with a unique and powerful story to tell, and they are all at the very heart of the project. Their experiences inspire and empower others to walk a path that leads away from substance abuse, and their shared stories are the essence of Choose Life.
Many of them spent years trapped in a cycle of addiction, which often led to a life of crime. A lot went through the care system, with some of the women having worked in the sex industry. The content of their personal life testimonies cannot be underestimated as a tool for people to empathise and understand the diverse issues related to drug use.
