My name is Vanessa Oeschger. I was born in Blairgowrie in Johannesburg to a beautiful family. My mom and dad were together until my mom passed away. I have an older brother, and sister. Sadly, my other brother passed away in a fight. I had a happy upbringing – even though my dad drank a lot, and my mom had Parkinsons Disease since I was born. I had many friends growing up and enjoyed school, and all the activities that went along with it. I was head girl in primary and high school.
I got married young – and had 2 incredible children that have grown into the most magical human beings – that I couldn’t be more proud of. Sadly I got lost to addiction further on in my life, though – thinking back – it had already started in early high school – with lots of drinking at all the parties, braai’s and school dances. I eventually did a long term – touch love program – which today I am beyond thankful for, as I know if I had’nt, I would not be here now to tell my story and help the next suffering addict climb out the pit of hell.
Whilst in my program, I knew I wanted to “pay it forward” – so I became and Addictions Councelor, and I have never looked back. It took addiction to help me find my purpose in life – and I honestly love my job!! There is nothing like watching the light come back into someone’s eyes after they have been in the dark for so long. I am beyond blessed and thankful for my addiction and my sobriety – and realized this is all part of my life’s journey. I hope to heal many suffering addicts – so they can get to the stage in their own lives, where they are happy, hardworking – individuals. My favorite quote is – Some people dance in the rain, other just get wet..
