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...
At 12, I took my first drink, setting off a downward spiral through addiction, danger, and alienation. But thanks to my family’s persistence and the Narconon program, I turned my life around. Today, I’m sober, happy, and thriving with my family and...
He returned to being the person we knew and loved before the drug use started. He gained confidence in his ability to have power over addiction, make healthy choices, and he had the drive to work towards achieving his goals in life. Our son continues to...
My wins on doing the Narconon program and getting off drugs are that my perceptions changed on why I was doing drugs. I decided for myself that I wanted to live life, be clean, and do what I am supposed to do. I thank God for Narconon─I don’t think...
The program itself is done on a gradient and every step has value. For me, there was a pot of gold at every point. I have no desire to do drugs or alcohol. My recommendation to anyone else who has a drug addiction is to first of all recognize and confront...
I am here years later, and I haven’t relapsed. I am a manager of a successful metal fabrication company that deals with United States infrastructure such as bridges, waterways, dams, train stations, etc. I am now a productive member of society ten times...
A person addicted to drugs or alcohol finds himself quite isolated and alone. His family and friends have become alienated, not knowing what to do to help him. He loses jobs and relationships are destroyed. As he struggles with his addiction, he can feel...
To many people, what I have now may not be considered a fancy or exciting life, but to me, it’s precisely the life that I wanted, and the one that would still be out of reach had I never gathered up the courage to overcome my addiction.
It is only by genuinely taking responsibility for our mistakes that we can take responsibility for our lives, and once we do that, the opportunities to enjoy life become endless.
Nine years later, I am still able to apply what I learned in rehab all those years ago to not only stay sober but to thrive while doing so.
My son was gone, but now he is back and everyone in the family is glad he is.
I have realized that my sobriety is a gift that I chose to give to myself every day.
I remember how scary it was to walk through those doors and stop drinking. I wish I could go back in time, hug myself, and let that girl know how grateful I am for her courage.
