Nick:
My addiction is based upon what I'm obsessed about and what I continue to compulsively do. So it's like, it could be the gym, like, it could be videogames, basically it is whatever I am obsessed about.

Graham:
Ever since at a really young age, I would sit on the computer all day just not care about school work and never live up to my potential or anything like that. It sounded like this stuff affects like, relationships. It makes relationships unhealthy. It makes me unhealthy. I don't do physical activity, I don't shower, I only care about one thing. It brought to light just how bad my life actually was and how I can't continue living that way.

I actually didn't really know I had a problem. I had lost all my jobs, ripped off some friends, basically by the end of it I was just in my room just using all day and not really moving forward in life. My parents held an intervention for me and they said "hey, we need you to get some help or you're not living with us anymore." So I took that as a wakeup call. I saw my addictions doctor and he recommended the Last Door and I was in the next day. It has been awesome ever since.

Nick:
Media Group is a group where you go and they teach you a bunch of things so you can become self-aware why you use media, the history of media, there's a bunch of other things like relationships, and how they're harmed through your use of media and also diet and nutrition and activities and hobbies. Things that you'd normally do when you aren't sitting at a computer, right? So it's all a big program of how to become aware of what you're doing.

Graham:
Gaining that self-awareness to just see like, it's not just the drugs, it's the behaviors that followed me no matter what I'm using. Always trying to escape and not having to take on responsibility, you really just have to monitor when it's becoming overboard. Is there anything else in your life not getting done? Not showering, not hooking in with your family, your friends? It's obviously becoming a problem again and you need to take a look at it.

Nick:
I look at everything that could be affected by my media usage, that's like one of the major things that I got out of. I have more fun things now, like I play hockey and play guitar again and I'm back at my old passions and it's basically from my own awareness of going through Media Group. I never knew about 12 step programs or anything. It was basically full of drugs and crime. I got myself over to here in New Westminster and now I'm in the Last Door and doing good.

Graham:
it's open to anyone who wants to come and get help. I really recommend this, it's been one of the best times in my life. I'm actually happy again and it's a really awesome feeling.
