“Our phobias, fears, and anxieties are what drive addictions. When we bury our feelings we create the need to medicate.” – Roy Nelson

“For about 15 years I was addicted to Vicodin (up to 100 pills a day) and other painkillers. I was also smoking 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day and drinking almost 12 cans of Coca-Cola a day. Before finding Roy, I was taking anti-depressants on top of all the pain-killers. I had tried and failed to get clean in several 12-step programs, therapy, sober living homes, etc. I was in pretty bad shape by the time I found Roy. After my second conversation with Roy, I threw away my cigarettes, pain-killers, and anti-depressants, and haven’t used any of those things since. That was over 10 years ago. It’s truly, truly a miracle. With Roy’s mentorship I’ve learned how to make changes in my life. My income has tripled, I’m a published author and a loving father and husband. It’s been a lot of growth, and I’m really grateful to Roy for it.”
–Harold L.

 

 

“Through Roy’s unconditional love, support, and guidance, I was able to face the feelings that had been sabotaging me for a lifetime. My past track record proved that I couldn’t face those feelings alone and I couldn’t do it with people who hadn’t experienced them as well. In hindsight, I can see that I, as well as other people who had tried to help me, had always been too afraid and threatened by the intensity level and depth of the feelings inside of me that needed to be resolved if I was going to be healed of compulsive overeating and bulimia. Roy, however, was not afraid of or threatened by my deep dark thoughts and feelings inside of me because he had not only experienced the same thoughts and feelings, but had overcome them himself and had been free for many, many years. That was the missing link. Roy had recovered from all addictions and compulsions, which is what made him uniquely qualified and successful in helping me and countless other seemingly hopeless cases break free from the chains of low self-esteem, depression, and addiction.”

“Roy had knowledge and an understanding that I didn’t have but deeply needed. Roy taught me a lifestyle that I could implement on a daily basis and the weight has effortlessly gone away. I have never dieted or even exercised to the point of breaking a sweat. He taught me a life of peace and happiness doing things that make me happy and are helpful to people around me. I don’t think about food anymore; I’m free from the obsessive mind, from the insanity that drove me nearly to my death. The lifestyle that I learned from Roy will save your life, too, if you have the strength to ask for help and follow through. I live a life today that I could never have imagined. If you need help, I think you’ll find that no one will be as much help to you as Roy Nelson.”
–Scott A.

 

 

“Because of all that Roy has taught me, shown me, and modeled for me, I am not living with the intense fear that drove me to depression and having panic attacks. I used to have terrible problems sleeping, especially falling asleep, because I was so afraid. I now go to sleep in peace. Everything in my life prior to meeting and working with Roy was about hiding my fears and deep self-loathing. Every step of this process with Roy has helped me face my insecurities. I am so grateful for the environment of love and safety Roy created that has allowed me to look at things, feel them, deal with them, and make changes accordingly. Before this program, I just trudged through life, sleepwalking, and trying to make it through each day, whereas now, I am hopeful and have so much to do to be of true service to others.”

“So many times Roy went out of his way to help me when I was experiencing emotions and feelings that I had no idea where they came from. I never met anyone who cared as much and had my well-being at the center of his heart. I started to feel like a worthy human being and deserving of the loving atmosphere that surrounded me. Roy also made me feeling very safe. I knew I could trust my heart and soul to him no matter what I said and did. Little did I know that the love he generated from his heart is what I had been starving for all my life. He helped me deal with all my fears and emotions, highs and lows. I started to feel life was worth living. I felt very safe and secure—like I was being wrapped in a cocoon.”
–Louise P.

 

 

“Roy’s candor, loving presence and commitment to seeing me through the roller coaster of recovery was remarkable. Roy’s work is so deep that it resulted in the immediate healing from the addictions that I used to rely on to help me escape from the pain inside me. He is truly an angel on earth!”
–Talia W.

 

 

“Before I met Roy I was starving myself to death. I had anorexia, was very depressed, and I thought everyone in my life was my problem—except for me. I tried many methods to heal my anorexia. I now have a great life since working with Roy. I’m healthy, maintain a healthy weight, and I’m free from the obsession with food. I was even able to give birth to beautiful twins and am now the kind of parent I wished I could have had. Before knowing Roy I had very low expectations of what I thought my life was to be. I now have more than I ever thought was possible, and I owe that all to Roy’s love, care and guidance.”
–Debbie S.

 

 

“I remember meeting Roy and knowing somehow my prayers were being answered. In all of my confused, messed-up thoughts and prayers, I still held to the dream and hope that change would manifest itself and heal my addictions. After my first meeting, I lost the need to fight with food and alcohol. There was another outlet and it was clearly Roy’s love and wisdom. The weight began to drop, the urge for the glass of Merlot faded, and the love began to sprout in its place. It was so comforting and peaceful when I began to work with Roy. When I would give him a hug, I would feel a heart to heart connection. I could visualize love from his heart to mine and vice versa. I still do. I was fortunate enough to have had enough heartache and misery in my life to know, this was a blessed opportunity. With Roy’s help, I’ve come to understand what I can have in life. I know I have feelings that hurt but will not kill me, but food and alcohol will. I now have a career that brings me joy. I have an abundance of health and wealth. I have the ability to make healthy choices. I can be totally free!” 

–Susan R.

 

 

“My first meeting with Roy had such a powerful impact on me that my desire to compulsively eat vanished immediately. Today, I only eat healthy foods. Eventually I stopped taking psychiatric medications and painkillers, and my self-destructive habits disappeared. I was able to release all of these substances and behaviors, not through any will power of my own, but rather, through a profound surrender deep in my psyche. I could never do this before, but with Roy’s love and belief in me, I am finally able to make healthier choices for my life.”
–Beverly L.

 

 

“As I listened, talked, laughed, cried, and was loved, I was also healed. I was freed from my ‘self-imposed’ hell. I like to call Roy my ‘soul-saver.’ Since that first meeting I have been experiencing remarkable changes in my life. I am no longer dependent on drinking alcohol to relax me and ease the pain of my life. I now have the self-esteem to stop seeking out the unhealthy relationships I was addicted to for years. My children notice a huge difference in me and are directly benefiting from the ‘new me.’ I am now enjoying a self-confidence, peace and new-found faith in God that I didn’t know existed! I thank God every day for Roy and the gift of my new life!”
–Fatima H.

 

 

“After meeting with Roy, the desperate loneliness was gone and the friends and family that had witnessed my sad demise were amazed by the obvious change in me. I began to make positive changes in my life with the support and guidance I received from Roy—changes that I was paralyzed to make prior to meeting Roy. It wasn’t until a few years later that I realized that I have not had a single panic attack since I had my first conversation with Roy.”
–Jane C.

 

 

“I have fought with excess weight all my life. I have tried every diet you can think of. I was taking anti-depressants and weighed 320 pounds. I came to Roy for help and he helped me change my life. In the first week of receiving Roy’s help I overcame my phobia of driving on busy streets and now drive everywhere without any fear. The love and experience that Roy has given me has helped me to face the pain, shame, and guilt of my past. I’m becoming a new person, one that I don’t have to medicate with alcohol, food, and compulsive sex. I’ve lost over 100 pounds. With Roy’s love and direction I have a new outlook on life. I was able to double my income in a job that I would have only dreamed of before. Roy is an amazing teacher.” 

–Helena D.

 

 

“I used to think being free from bulimia meant that I could have a bite of chocolate without needing another and another. After working with Roy I see that being free means being free to do what does not hurt me. I never understood that the foods I want and eat are a manifestation of my inner problems. I thought all these years that I was just unlucky being equipped with a huge appetite for any kind of food. I now see that I had a huge appetite for real life and real love and was looking for it in food.”
