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”
