I will start things off; here is an inspirational success story:
“The Narconon program has freed me from the shackles of my addiction; it has given me the strength to face my past demons that kept me locked in a hopeless losing battle with drugs. It has brought me back from a helpless soul that was only just surviving, to a person who is not only surviving, but is living life and loving it. That was an impossible task before this program how could I have loved life if I didn’t even love myself…. And that is the biggest gift that the program has given me!”
”I love what I see in the mirror now. I have nothing to hide from the people in my life and it is amazing how easy life really is when you are not living a double life and by facing the things in my life and changing all aspects of my life. I have been able to talk about things in my past freely with the people who love me, all because I have forgiven myself while doing all the steps on the program, and I am truly in present time, something that didn’t make sense to me till after I got home and realized how my addiction was really controlling me and every action I made…But no more and never again…. ”
”Thank you Narconon, for finding me and bringing me back to life!!!!!!!!”
At first, she would ask for money. Apparently that wasn’t enough to feed her habit. After a while, she stopped asking, but I would be missing money from my purse. I didn’t want to believe she was taking it at first, but then even her little sister had money come up missing. After a while, given the missing money and her behavior, I had to admit to myself that she was an addict. Confronting her with it was one of the most painful experiences of my life. She began screaming at me, calling me names she never had before. Suddenly it was as though it was my fault all of this was happening. Her addiction was my fault? In the mind of an addict, I guess so.
It happens innocently enough; someone goes to the doctor with an ailment and the medication the doctor prescribes not only takes care of the ailment, but also produces an addiction. There are many people who are addicted to pain killers, anti-anxiety medications, and muscle relaxers, among others. Of course, it was not the doctor’s intent to have anyone become addicted.
