Never Give In

Never Give In is the motto of a popular boarding school , The Lawrence School , Sanawar and it holds so true for the tale of two gentleman from Jalandhar City.

 Manjeet Singh,resident of village Tajpur and  Bikramjeet Singh resident of village Pholriwal  were drug addicts who  were gone beyond reason . They were wasting their lives ,intoxicated beyond help and who had been written off by their families .Manjit Singh was an addict for the last 14 years and his family had tried every treatment possible. Be it getting a chip put under his skin so that repels and makes him vomit when he would take his next fix. Even to the extent to tying him in the room , detoxifying him over the years fourteen or fifteen times but to no avail. Nothing seemed to work.

Bikram jeet Singh , aged 34 years was the same, a drug addict who would readily do anything for his drug habit . he had lost innumerable jobs ,a s no one would hire him ,and if they did hire he would ruin his chances by intoxicating himself silly .

By chance, Manjeet singh aged 38 years read a book six years ago called NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS- JUST FOR TWO DAYS , which changed him into a new man. He has been sober, drug free for the last six years. Mannjit is a new man, reborn with strength, vitality,and with a wish to save other addicts who are spiraling their lives to hell . He and his friend   Bikramjeet are leading drug free lives, completely de-toxified and are repaying back to the society. They have started a Life Care Rehabilitation Centre. It is a non-profitable organization started three years ago which follows all government guidelines. It is located in village tajpur. Manjit says, that they have 50 patients who are currently admitted with them and they have 40 out- patients who have successfully finished the program and are clean. They have a unique program where there is a complete follow- up for the next two years. It is crucial that the patients be regularly counseled and rehabilitated back into society so fit back and lead normal lives. This ensures themt o be at ease. Manjit says they have a very strict routine, and they only admit patients if they have been detoxified by a certified hospital at first and then they counsel them via trained psychologists, meditation and yoga classes. Everyday they study their bible, Narcotics Anonymous and in detail expound on the thought given for the day.This leads them to understand and to become confident. The centre in fact builds the soul, human body and spirit which had been ravaged by the destructive and harmful horrors of the drug.

Manjit also told that the psychologists are usually women and they are discouraged by their parents to take up this job They have three psychologists and a doctor couple team who work wonders and are very patient in their dealings.

This team is very dedicated who make their case history  and are hands on.

Manjit Singh and Bikram jeet are ahhpily married with children leading normal lives and have reclaimed their life. They are giving back to the society as positive citizens and their main aim is to bring back as many drug addicts on the right path via counseling, yoga, medication after they have become clean. They only do this after the patient has kicked his habit and then they work on his mind making  him strong mentally to resist the lure and temptation
