My dear friends,
I feel privileged that I have been graced upon by God, to carve out a niche for those who are engulfed by the black shadow of Addiction. It is rightly said, ”One who gets into the sea, only knows the bottom.” I was only 16years old when I joined Indian Air Force. After serving the Indian Air Force for 12yrs, I quit the job, as I had started taking alcohol & drugs. Being a pampered child in the family, I don’t remember how I got tangled in the clutches of psychotropic drugs besides alcohol. My family suffered mental as well as physical trauma & pain. My whole family tried a lot to bring me out of this hell.
I kept shuttling b/w various psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation centers for 5-6yrs in hope of a clean & productive life. During this dark period of despair & dejection I lost everything in terms of family, finance, social circle & above all my self. But I really thank God who has bestowed his utmost blessing on me. It was in the year 2001, When I realized that I had lost everything in my life, but still there was something to search for, since January 2001, I’m leading a clean life of a REFORMER.
My Family had suffered to such an extent that I promised to myself that I will never let the other thousands of families face the same agony & despair which my family had been through.
Giving a concrete shape to my dreams & idea of a residential treatment centre I laid the foundation of “PRITHVI DURGA FOUNDATION” in Nov 2005.
Welcome again!
