At 20 years of age, Vincenzo has already been through the horrors of drug addiction. Starting in high school with marijuana, he soon progressed to shooting heroin and cocaine. He describes his life like this: “I started abusing drugs in high school…”
Since overcoming my addiction, I have rebuilt my relationships with my family, all of whom supported me during my recovery. With their continued encouragement, I was able to start my own business. I have been clean for 13 years, waking up each morning...
My story goes from that of a very normal, happy life, as a child, then teenager going to school, then college and then getting a job, then to the extreme low of drug addiction and all that goes with that, and now, back to the top, being a mother with a...
It was my mother, ever supportive, who did the research that led to my doing the Narconon drug rehab program. Because I had always been physically fit and in shape, the idea of exercise and sauna and getting the drugs out of my body appealed to me first...
Ed grew up in a loving, supportive family, but a single prescription after oral surgery introduced him to the world of opiates. What began as recreational use quickly spiraled into daily addiction. With his father’s support and the Narconon program,...
People using drugs are not being themselves, they’re not being who they really are—they don’t want to be addicts. The Narconon program works. It’s not about managing addiction; it’s about ending it. The New Life Detox and the training drills...
You know, Narconon is amazing. Of course, it’s on a good piece of land. But it also, like I said, it just gives people a safe place, and it’s provided a safe place for me in order to be able to plot out the rest of my future. And so I think that was...
If you're considering becoming involved with Narconon, I, from the bottom of my heart, encourage you to do so. This program works. People struggling with addiction often don’t have the tools, support, or knowledge to help themselves. They’re trapped—and...
If you give Narconon a real chance—you can rise to a level you never imagined. Your family, your community, and your future self will thank you. Even if you’re uncertain, take the leap. If it doesn’t work, you can write to me and tell me. But I believe...
I was raising an 8-year-old son and a 2½ year old daughter, and was also going to school. However, with the drug use, I could not do a good job with any of those, and I realized that I needed to get help. A friend of mine, who had in the past had a similar...
If you’re someone who wants to do something about the drug problem in society, know this: Narconon works. The program provides tools to make real change. And changing the world doesn’t require superheroes—just everyday people willing to do something.
One of my biggest wins during the Narconon program was regaining my self-respect and integrity. I started to see myself not as a failure but as someone capable of change. I no longer blamed others for what I had done. I learned to take responsibility for...
I feel like I’m a better person now from going through that struggle, and then Narconon taught me how to be a better person on the outside.
Look at what you have lost or could lose from using drugs, and look at what you can gain back if you handle the addiction. When you think you have lost everything, there is a way to get it back, like I did at Narconon.
I have been married for 7 years and have a great relationship with my family, and I am proud that I really put everything I could into doing the Narconon program and came out being a better person even than I was before the drugs.
I finished the Narconon program in March 2024, and I went back to college in August 2024 and am currently in mid-law school. I coached high school baseball, and I am building my relationship back up with my family and friends. I am planning to start a...
I did the program in 2011, opened a business in 2012, and finished college in 2013 with a degree in Small Business Administration. These are things I would never have been able to do before the program. My advice to anyone who has an alcohol addiction...
I have not had a drink in 15 years, and I have no desire to start drinking again. I can even be with someone who is having a drink and be happy with my glass of water! I am healthier and can think clearly. I feel like I am somebody of value to himself,...
My relationship with my mother and father is great, and we remain closely connected. Every year, on January 15th, I have a chocolate cake to commemorate the anniversary of the day I started to rehabilitate myself. My advice to others with a similar problem...
Today, I am proud to say I have over 16 years of sobriety. I am happily married to my beautiful wife, and we share a wonderful daughter. My family means everything to me, and I am grateful every day for their unwavering support. My mother, brother, and...
