Success Story
“My name is Helen and I am an addict.
I booked into Crossroads PTA for 2 months. I was 43 years old. My clean date is 3 January 2017. I was broken, but had a plan. One last plan. I was going to get some clean time and go home and fix everything. Crossroads had a different plan for me. Crossroads taught me about my disease, why I did the things I did and why I thought the way I did. I was Powerless, and this made my life super unmanageable.
So how do I fix that?
Get honest and take responsibility for my life and my actions. Go to meetings, get a sponsor. Be of service to others, do the steps and hand your life and will over to a God of my understanding they told me.
Sounds simple. I was scared, I don’t know this way of life. I also know I don’t want to live the way I was living. I got a job, my first real job in 20 years.
I showed up everyday, trusting that if I just do the “simple” things I was taught at Crossroads. I will be ok.
I had NO IDEA how much my life would change. 9 months into that job, I got my 2nd job as a sales representative selling a product I had never even heard of. Again just trusting. Walking through the fear and trusting in the “simple” way I was told about. Mostly trusting God. Live honestly, open minded and definitely willing. From not giving up on me and this new way of life I was trying to live.
I became the top sales representative in our company. 4 years in, I got promoted to Sales Manager. I have been with this company for 8 years now and love what I do. I have a relationship with my children and I am a proud Granny. I’m filled with hope and I know that no matter what happens in my life today.
I DO NOT NEED TO USE!!
Crossroads changed the direction of my life. I always feel like I’m coming home when I go and visit. I will forever be eternally grateful to Crossroads and all the amazing counselors.
THANK YOU, seems so small for what you have done for ME.”

Success Story
“My name is George and I am an alcoholic.
I found myself hitting rock bottom due to my excessive drinking addiction and I needed help urgently!!
I searched for rehabs and Crossroads Pretoria was my choice for recovery, best choice I ever made as the councilors were so passionate to help me cure my addiction. My 1 month stay changed my life which I never thought is possible, I’m 3 months sober and my personal life as well as my business career has changed so much for the better being sober.
Thank you Crossroad for giving me a second chance at life.”
Success Story
“My name is Andrew and I am currently 3 years and 3 months clean.
This journey of a life beyond my wildest dreams started at Crossroads. During my 3 month stay I got reintroduced to myself, without all of my masks and dishonesty. I received such a good foundation for a healthy life that it set me up to continue growing and living a full life, together with a 12-step program. Since then I have grown into myself and I am learning how to treat myself with respect so that I may treat others the same way. I’ve found (and kept) a great job and I am excelling at it. I’ve made REAL friends who like me for who I am, and that’s because Crossroads showed me how to be myself.
My connection with the God of my understanding is stronger than ever and grows continuously. I have re-established relationships with loved ones. I can proudly say that I am a functioning member of society and I give away what was given to me, and it all started at Crossroads. I firmly believe that this journey would’ve been a lot harder and could possibly have turned out worse if I did not get the help I needed from this life-changing place.”
