Thank You For My Life
"I was asked to write a letter to all of those people I hated, it was a long list. I never finished the letter, but by the time I completed the program I did not hate those people any more. QWH changed my life!"

The following is a message that was recently left for Quintin Warner House (QWH):
“This is a message for the director and staff of QWH. My name is Wayne and I graduated from QWH in the 1970’s. I just wanted to say thank you for my life.” Dick Cochrill (Director of QWH) could not resist returning Wayne’s call! The following is a recount of their conversation.
Dick- Tell me about yourself, Wayne. Wayne- I am 62 years old and have been sober for more than 30 years. I own a small horse farm on Vancouver Island where I buy old horses that are slated to be destroyed and take care of them until they die of natural causes.
Dick- Can you tell me about your time at Quintin Warner? Wayne- Two people died from their addiction while I was there, which really got my attention, and as a result, I discovered that I had a living problem in addition to my drinking problem. I was asked to write a letter to all of those people I hated, it was a long list. I never finished the letter, but by the time I completed the program I did not hate those people any more. QWH changed my life!
Dick- What did you do after you left Quintin Warner? Wayne- I managed an exercise club, and then a gas station. I also worked for the St. Leonard’s society and the Dearness Home until I moved to Alberta to work with abandoned kids.
Dick- Wayne what prompted your call? Wayne- I phone Quintin Warner every few years, just to say thank you for giving me a life.
