CDSMP Success Stories

“I come out of the program with a new view of how I should live my life.

I am now walking, I am drinking much more water, am learning Tai Chi

and am looking at all there is to do and learn out there….this program

has given me many tools to adjust to my pain and live a health,

satisfying life. I will miss coming here on Thursdays.”

“it also motivated us, because

everyone there is going

through difficulties, some even

more than our own, so we

were not alone”
