Mm -hmm.

I'm glad you didn't have any trouble
arriving today.

Thank the Lord for that.

Sorry I'm late.

Hello Abigail.

Pleased you're here.

Well, now that it seems everyone has
arrived, we can begin.

My name is Gabriel.

And as many of you know, I have been
with this church now for over five

I found my way here after...

decades of struggling with my own inner
demons.

And make no mistake, I would not be
sitting here before you today if it

for this church and the power of our
Lord.

What I'd like to do today is go around
the circle and have everyone share their

stories with us.

You've all made a conscious effort to be
here today and remember whatever is

shared, whatever you say stays.

strictly between us.

We are here to listen and support.

Hello?

Now with that being said, Andrew, I'd
like you to read the preamble.

We're a fellowship of men and women who
share their experience, strength and

hope with each other that may solve
their common problem and help others to

recover from alcoholism or any other
addiction they may have.

The only requirement for membership is a
desire to overcome their addiction.

There are no dues or fees for membership
and we're all self -supporting through

our own contributions.

We are not aligned to any sect,
denomination, politics, organisation or

institution.

Let's not engage in any controversy.

Neither endorses nor opposes any causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober

and help others to achieve sobriety and
purity along with the help of our Lord

and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Now, let's open it up to the floor. Who
is going to be brave enough to start?

My name is Isabel and I'm an alcoholic.

My relationship with alcohol began
because I was in an abusive relationship

and was made to feel pretty worthless by
my ex -partner.

Unfortunately, I got myself out of that
relationship, but obviously my

confidence took a massive hit and I
started to go out more and more.

And I knew that alcohol was the only
thing that would give me that wonderful

feeling. You know, make me feel
beautiful and sexy and all those things

wanted to feel.

So I thought that was the relationship I
had with alcohol, you know, that it was

fun.

Fast forward a year and I was drinking
half a gallon of vodka a day.

At the end of my drinking, I was
drinking around the clock and had to

drink just to get through.

Physically, my hands would shake and...

I had to have a drink every couple of
hours.

I remember one day I was at work and I
had this moment

of clarity.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I
realised alcohol

was killing me.

I was powerless against alcohol and I
needed help.

That's why I came here.

The biggest gift the centre has given me
has been codependency.

So when I first came here, I was exposed
to all the different programmes.

But, yeah.

On codependency, lightbulbs went off and
I realised...

I had taken care of everyone and
everything, but I

didn't take care of myself.

Can you hear me?

Laura, what do you think about sharing
your story with the group today?

Hi, everyone.

So I'm Laura.

And a few years ago, I lost my four
-year -old daughter, Matilda, in a

accident.

And that led me to making some bad
decisions in my life.

I started smoking weed to numb the pain
and before I knew it I was tricking the

GP into giving me some painkillers on
prescription and getting addicted to

codeine.

After a while the codeine wasn't enough.

So a friend said he knew someone who
could supply fentanyl so I started on

At worst I was on 60 fentanyl lozenges a
day.

I didn't know I was addicted.

They just took the pain away and took
the edge off life, really.

The last few years were destructive in
many ways and caused a lot of harm.

I still wasn't ready to accept that I
had a problem because I was so scared of

it being taken away, even though it was
affecting me so badly.

I ended up overdosing and in hospital
and not knowing what had happened.

I was so scared when I saw the fear on
my parents' face.

And I saw how much harm I was causing to
the people I cared about the most.

I knew I had a serious problem and I had
to get help.

So once I'd admitted it and I'd spoken
to somebody, and shared what I've been

going through, what I've been dealing
with.

That was the best feeling I'd had in a
long time.

That feeling of being heard and being
seen for the first time.

That was the first true feeling I'd had
in such a long time.

So that started my recovery and learning
about this addiction.

Because I knew it was causing problems
in my life, but I didn't know, I didn't

see it as an addiction.

That may sound naive, but once I started
learning about addiction, that started

my road to recovery.

How would you feel about sharing your
story?

Yeah, sure.

Hi, I'm Darren. I'm an addict and an
alcoholic.

I haven't taken anything for three
years, but I'm

struggling at the moment, and I came
here today to spend some time with

who know what I'm going through.

To people out there who might be
contemplating getting help, just take

You will never regret it.

It's the reason I'm still alive today.

Just over three years ago, I was in a
really dark place, taking copious

of drugs and alcohol, and one day I was
found on my kitchen floor.

I was rushed to hospital, and my heart
stopped.

35 seconds.

Legally dead, they said.

But if it wasn't for the doctors and
especially a nurse called Natalia,

I wouldn't be here today.

I asked her for help and she pretty much
saved my life.

We still talk. I speak to her once or
twice a month.

I found out a couple of weeks ago she...

She brought a little puppy and she
called it Darren, which is kind of

funny but heartwarming at the same time.

But speaking to her kind of reminds me
that, you know, you're never on your

There are people out there if you want
help.

There are people that have been through
what you're going through and are on the

other side.

We never know when those dark days are
going to come.

And sadly, they will visit us again at
some point.

But there's people out there to help
you.

And those dark days are the toughest.

They're the hardest.

And, you know, we can struggle through
it.

But not today.

I'm glad I'm here.

And I'm happy to be alive.

Thank you.

Please. Hello? What service do you
require?

Please. Hello?

Where is the help required?

Post 1 -1.

Yes. I need the police.

Is anybody there?

Yes.

I need the police. I can't hear anybody.

Is anybody there?

Yes, I need assistance. Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, this is Chloe.

I can't take your call in a minute.
Leave a message and if you're lucky, I

get back to you.

Chloe,

it's me.

Listen, I don't have much time, okay? So
I need you to call me back as soon as

you get this.

I've been taken somewhere and I don't
know where I am.

I've tried calling the police and I
can't get through to them so I need you

call them for me, okay?

And ask them to track my phone or
something.

Okay.

Love you.

Bye.

Abigail?

Mum, it's me.

Abigail, can you hear me?

Mum, listen, I don't know what's
happening with my phone, but if you can

me, I need you to call the...

Yes, look, look.

Something's wrong with my phone. I don't
know what's going on.

Hello?

Look, I've been kidnapped and I don't
know where I am.

Thank you.

Sarah, may I ask you to lead us in the
serenity prayer?

Thank

you,

Sarah. That was lovely.

Well, we've all heard from...

Pretty heavy stories here today.

Some dark times, some evil subject
matter.

But together we can get through this.

We have each other for support, always.

And I know that very soon you shall all
lead lives of purity

and freedom.

In the name of our Lord.

I'd like to do something a little
different this week.

I would like to say the Lord's Prayer of
Sacrament in remembrance of his flesh

and blood that he sacrificed for us.

John!

O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee
in the name of thy Son, Jesus

Christ,

To bless and sanctify this bread.

It's okay.

It's only bread and holy water.

It's not going to hurt you.

To the souls of all those who partake of
it.

That they may eat in remembrance of the
body of thy son.

And thus witness, O God, the Eternal
Father,

that they be willing to take upon them

the name of thy Son, and always remember
him,

and keep his commandments which he hath
given

them, that they may

always have him.

Peace.

Welcome, Abigail.

You've done ever so well to make your
way here.

Where am I?

Your home.

This isn't my home.

What's going on?

I want to go back to my real home.

Ah. It would appear Abigail still has a
lot to learn.

What do you mean?

Who are you people?

We are your liberation, Abigail.

Take me home.

This is your home.

What are you talking about?

We've cleansed you.

We've rid you of all your demons.

What do you mean?

Your demons are no more.

All your sins.

Your pain.

Gone.

You're free.

I don't understand.

You came to us seeking solace.

Wanting a new life.

And that is what we have given you.

A new life.

A new soul.

I have people.

Who will be looking for me.

And they will find me.

I don't want any part of this.

This is exactly what you wanted.

And more importantly, it's exactly what
you needed.

You're insane.

I have family.

I have friends.

here, locked up.

We are your saviors, Abigail.

And you needed saving from yourself.

And we were the only ones who could save
you.

And now you can spend eternity free.

Look, I just want to go home.

I... Please, just let me go home.

It's okay, dear.

Everything's okay now.

Here.

Let me help you.

No!

I don't know who you are, but I don't
want any part of it!

You don't understand, Abigail.

I want... to go home.

I need to go home.

I don't want to be part of whatever this
twist is.

Whatever it is.

Very well.

But I must warn you, you will regret it.

You've sealed your own fate, Abigail.

Mom?

night so

I walk alone in the still of the night.

No one can express the pain inside.

But the echoing inside my head.

I'm drowning.

Thank you.
