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...
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...

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...

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.

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.
Chris abused crack cocaine for 19 years. He got beat up and robbed and went to three different rehabs, but couldn't stop. That is, until he found Narconon. Narconon worked for him and he is still clean today.

Bobby abused drugs for years and got into plenty of trouble. He went to several drug rehab methods that did not work for him. He couldn't relate to the staff, for one thing. Narconon was different. The staff were caring and the program worked. Since graduating,...
