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...
I went through several state-mandated drug rehab programs before enrolling in the Narconon program. I found Narconon to be far more effective and impactful than the others. At the time, I was at a crossroads: rehab or jail. I chose Narconon.
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...
I am a firm believer that Narconon has the tools to stop addiction. The program works. I am proof. My husband is proof. My family is proof. One time I heard someone say, “There is no greater purpose on this planet to have power, unless it’s helping...
When I first started the Narconon program, I had no idea this would all change as I was about to become part of something special. We enter rehabilitation at our lowest point. We graduate on a high note. In between, we develop bonds with those around us...
Today, I am happily married with the love of my life, I have my family back, and most importantly, I am happier than I have ever been living a life that I am in control of without drugs or alcohol. The Narconon program wasn’t just a rehab program for...
I would tell people who are struggling with addiction to choose life. The sadness all goes away once they start getting better by doing the program. It works perfectly, and they can get back to being themselves. For those in early recovery who are already...
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.
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.
Wine is not a requirement for being a mom; if anything, it can be more of a hindrance than a help.
There is nothing wrong with living in survival mode from time to time, like anything else it has its purpose. Survival mode helps us get through difficult situations, it helps us “survive” through trying times.
Jazzmine was so high on drugs she went missing for three days. Her mother put up missing posters. Once her mother found Jazzmine, she took her straight to Narconon. Jazzmine's life was saved that day.
