Freedom From Addiction
There is a solution to addiction!
We have been exactly where you are. We know what it feels like to be trapped in the loneliness, fear and despair of addiction. We also know what it is like to discover a way out.
Our approach is built around three fundamental principles:
HOPE — BROTHERHOOD — PURPOSE
HOPE
There is a way out. Our message comes from men who have experienced recovery themselves.
BROTHERHOOD
You do not have to walk this road alone. Recovery is a journey of men helping men, sharing experience and supporting one another.
PURPOSE
Recovery is about more than stopping drinking or using drugs. It is about discovering a meaningful way of life through spiritual growth, responsibility, meaningful work and service to others.
We offer lived experience, one-to-one mentoring and the opportunity to discover a new way of living.
We have been exactly where you are. We walked out. When you’re ready, we’ll walk with you.
Get High On Life Recovery Retreat offers men an opportunity to step away from the pressures of everyday life and begin a journey of recovery in the wilderness of Nyanga, Zimbabwe.
Our approach is grounded in lived experience, one-to-one mentoring, the Twelve Steps, brotherhood, spiritual growth and meaningful practical work.
We do not simply tell a man how to recover. We walk alongside him as he experiences recovery, discovers a new way of life and finds purpose in helping others.
“Working the 12-step program of recovery in perfect serenity with totally committed people was an incredible experience which I will never forget. As a result, I am now 2 years sober, clean and loving life! I consider you part of my family and I look forward to coming back to visit and give back what gave so much to me and the people before me.”

We are Always Ready For A Challenge
Recovery calls a man to take responsibility for his life. At Get High On Life, we walk alongside each man as he begins to recognise the choices he has made, understand their consequences and discover a different way of living. This is not about blame or punishment. It is about honesty, personal responsibility and the willingness to change.
Our approach is based on experience rather than education alone. Through practical work, the Twelve Steps, one-to-one mentoring and brotherhood, men have the opportunity to develop self-worth, inner integrity and the disciplines needed to live a meaningful life.
As a man begins to discover his own capabilities, takes responsibility and becomes useful to others, he starts to see himself differently. He begins to rediscover his dignity, his confidence and his purpose.
Unique One on One Approach
We walk alongside each man on a one-to-one basis. Our mentors share their own experience of recovery, offering understanding, guidance and companionship as each man works through the Twelve Steps.
We believe recovery is not something that can simply be taught. It must be experienced. Through personal mentoring, brotherhood and practical action, a man begins to discover the solution and a new way of living.
At Get High On Life, we believe in the power of sharing our experience with others. Our own recovery is strengthened through service, and we carry the message of hope to the man who still suffers.
At Get High On Life, we believe that recovery is experienced, not simply taught. Our approach is grounded in lived experience, brotherhood, spiritual growth and meaningful action.
We believe in the work we do because our own lives have been changed through recovery. Service is an essential part of that journey. By sharing our experience and helping another man discover a new way of life, we continue to carry the message of hope to those who still suffer.
A Journey of Experience
Paul Nobes brings more than two decades of personal experience in recovery from substance dependency, together with years of experience walking alongside men seeking freedom from addiction.
Having travelled this road himself, Paul understands the fear, isolation and desperation that so often accompany addiction. His own journey has given him a deep commitment to helping other men discover that recovery is possible and that a new way of life awaits them.
Get High On Life Recovery Retreat was established in the wilderness of Nyanga, Zimbabwe, with a simple purpose: to provide an environment where men can experience recovery through brotherhood, personal mentoring, spiritual growth and meaningful practical work.
The natural beauty and tranquillity of the African wilderness provide a setting in which men can step away from the pressures of everyday life, find space for reflection and begin discovering a different way of living.
We have been exactly where you are. We walked out. When you’re ready, we’ll walk with you.
Two Decades of Experience
As a result, Paul has created and successfully run the world’s first 12 Step African Wilderness Recovery Retreat. We utilize the splendour and magic of the African Wilderness. Addicts and alcoholics experienced a life changing recovery event in an environment of peace and tranquillity.
