Narconon Marijuana and Alcohol Rehab Reviews – Khallid’s Experience Overcoming Addiction
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 the best decision that I’ve ever made and it set me up for the rest of my life.
Roots and Recovery: A Southern Story of Strength
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 drug problem, told me about the Narconon program, which he had successfully done. It sounded like it was just what I needed.
My Recovery Story
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 my actions. But most importantly, I was able to rebuild my relationship with God and my family. I understand how my choices affected those I loved.
