Je suis n\u00e9 \u00e0 Nyakabiga et j\u2019ai eu une bonne vie. En y repensant, je n\u2019aurais jamais imagin\u00e9 que ma vie prendrait la direction qu\u2019elle a prise. Tout a commenc\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s simple, quelque chose qui paraissait inoffensif \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque. J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 fumer des cigarettes avec des amis, juste pour jouer. Cela ne semblait pas s\u00e9rieux. Cela ne semblait pas dangereux. Mais lentement, ce \u201cjeu\u201d est devenu autre chose. Je ne r\u00e9alisais pas que j\u2019ouvrais une porte qu\u2019il serait tr\u00e8s difficile de refermer. Avec le temps, j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 consommer des drogues plus fortes, y compris la coca\u00efne. C\u2019est l\u00e0 que tout a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 changer. J\u2019ai perdu le contr\u00f4le petit \u00e0 petit, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 me retrouver dans un endroit dont je ne pouvais pas m\u2019\u00e9chapper. Je dis souvent que je suis tomb\u00e9 dans un trou profond, car c\u2019est exactement ce que je ressentais. Je pouvais voir ce qui m\u2019arrivait, mais je n\u2019arrivais pas \u00e0 m\u2019en sortir. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ce qui avait commenc\u00e9 comme une consommation occasionnelle est devenu un besoin quotidien. Mon corps et mon esprit en d\u00e9pendaient. Je ne faisais plus de choix, j\u2019\u00e9tais pi\u00e9g\u00e9. Chaque jour, la seule chose qui comptait \u00e9tait de trouver un moyen de consommer de la drogue, juste pour me sentir normal, juste pour ressentir un peu de soulagement. Pour survivre dans cette vie, j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 vendre tout ce que je poss\u00e9dais. Mes biens ont disparu un \u00e0 un. Et lorsqu\u2019il n\u2019y avait plus rien, j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 chercher ailleurs. Je volais tout ce que je pouvais trouver. Quelque chose qui pouvait valoir 500 000 francs burundais, je le vendais pour 20 000 francs burundais, juste assez pour acheter de la drogue. \u00c0 ce stade, la valeur n\u2019avait plus aucun sens. La seule chose qui comptait \u00e9tait la prochaine dose. Finalement, j\u2019ai tout abandonn\u00e9 derri\u00e8re moi.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>J\u2019ai pass\u00e9 18 ans \u00e0 vivre dans la for\u00eat. Quand je le dis, beaucoup de gens sont surpris. Ils me demandent comment cela \u00e9tait possible. La v\u00e9rit\u00e9, c\u2019est que lorsque l\u2019on vit dans ce monde, on ne ressent pas la peur de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re. Normalement, quelqu\u2019un aurait peur de vivre dans la for\u00eat, mais moi non. J\u2019\u00e9tais constamment sous l\u2019effet de la drogue, ce qui supprimait la peur, mais en m\u00eame temps, cela m\u2019enlevait tout le reste : la paix, la direction, le sens de la vie. C\u2019\u00e9tait ma vie : l\u2019isolement, la survie et la d\u00e9pendance. Ma famille a souffert \u00e0 cause de moi. Ils avaient peur chaque fois que je m\u2019approchais d\u2019eux. Ils savaient que je pouvais leur voler, et souvent, c\u2019est ce que je faisais. J\u2019en suis arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 un point o\u00f9 je n\u2019\u00e9tais plus digne de confiance nulle part. J\u2019avais perdu la confiance des personnes qui m\u2019aimaient le plus. Avec du recul, je r\u00e9alise que je ne vivais pas vraiment ; je survivais simplement, passant d\u2019un jour \u00e0 l\u2019autre, contr\u00f4l\u00e9 par quelque chose de plus fort que moi. Et puis, quelque chose a chang\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>C\u2019est par la gr\u00e2ce de Dieu que j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 Service Yezu Mwiza au Centre TAO. Cette rencontre a marqu\u00e9 le d\u00e9but d\u2019un nouveau chapitre de ma vie. Au Centre, j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 des personnes qui ne me jugeaient pas, des personnes qui m\u2019ont accueilli tel que j\u2019\u00e9tais. Ils m\u2019ont introduit au programme de traitement, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 prendre des m\u00e9dicaments tels que la m\u00e9thadone ou la bupr\u00e9norphine. Ceux-ci m\u2019ont aid\u00e9 \u00e0 stabiliser mon corps et \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le besoin constant de drogues. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es, j\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 me sentir stable. J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 penser diff\u00e9remment et \u00e0 voir qu\u2019une autre vie \u00e9tait possible. La transformation a \u00e9t\u00e9 visible, non seulement pour moi, mais aussi pour ma famille. Mes parents disent maintenant que j\u2019ai compl\u00e8tement chang\u00e9, et j\u2019esp\u00e8re continuer \u00e0 viser plus haut maintenant que je peux m\u00eame compter sur moi-m\u00eame.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/ajan.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-06-26_service-yezu-mwiza_activity1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ajan.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-06-26_service-yezu-mwiza_activity1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/ajan.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-06-26_service-yezu-mwiza_activity1-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ajan.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-06-26_service-yezu-mwiza_activity1-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ajan.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-06-26_service-yezu-mwiza_activity1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Gael\u2019s story is one among many at Centre TAO <em>(Centre Traitement Agoniste aux Opio\u00efdes)<\/em>&nbsp;(TAO \u2013 Th\u00e9rapie agoniste aux opio\u00efdes) \u2013 Service Yezu Mwiza, o\u00f9 les personnes en situation de marginalisation sont accompagn\u00e9es \u00e0 travers des programmes de traitement, de soutien psychosocial et de r\u00e9insertion.
