Mother’s Worries Gone Since Son Did Narconon in 2005

A mother’s heartbreak when a child is an addict knows no bounds. She sees her son or daughter’s life become a mess when addicted to drugs or alcohol. The addict is only driven by intense cravings which override anything else in life. The addict is in very real danger. A person addicted to drugs or alcohol can become ill, or even die from an overdose. However, when a parent discovers how Narconon can turn a child’s life around, that parent knows things can be very different.

One mother shared her viewpoint regarding her child doing the Narconon program. Her son, Ule Morton, had completed the Narconon treatment program in 2005 and was drug-free now for years. They were celebrating at Narconon Eslov drug rehab in Sweden during Narconon’s Thirtieth Anniversary. In front of a camera, Ule introduced his mother, calling her “his heart.”

She said, “It’s true - we had a hard time before because Ule was on drugs. To be a mother with a son on drugs is very, very difficult. You are always afraid and you are scared about everything. It’s difficult to enjoy life when you are in this position, because you cannot enjoy happiness with this type of thing going on. You are always thinking about your child on drugs. So life changed for me after 2005, when Ule finished the Narconon program. I wish all parents to have the same wins that our family has had from this program. This is amazing.”

Ule was beaming and told the interviewers that he was really happy to be the person he is today. “She’s happy!” he remarked. He commented that he is really glad to have so much support.

His mother continued, “And all the things that Ule learned on the Narconon program - I also want to learn it. Then we can use it on each other in our communication. This is very important data to learn so I’m very, very happy for that. We use it every day.”

The information that Ule learned and now his mother is learning consists of an education in life skills that help to maintain a life without drugs. The Narconon Life Skills Courses teach a recovering addict how to restore and rebuild a life without drugs. These courses cover such topics such as communication, integrity, how to improve conditions and perceptions. These life improvement courses help put an individual back in control of his or her life. The courses help anyone with workable tools and applicable knowledge in living a better life.

Swedish Drug Rehab Graduate Thanks Narconon Eslov

It is so true that drug addiction brings devastation to a life. Addicts live on the edge of an abyss, which at any moment can completely swallow them. The addict does not just harm himself. His family and friends suffer and worry as they see him lose control of his life and sink to the depths of existence. With Narconon Eslov in Sweden, however, this picture can change very rapidly.

Long-term use of heroin, cocaine or amphetamines has been a problem in Sweden for many years. It was estimated in recent times that the number of drug users in the country was five people in every thousand. This is too many with a horrible habit that affects the user himself and so many others. In 2009, there were 267 directly drug-related deaths - an increase over previous years.

The need for an effective drug rehab for the country is clear. There is a drug treatment program in Sweden which has a high success rate in achieving lasting recovery. The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation center - Narconon Eslov - recently celebrated its Thirtieth Anniversary. At that celebration, one graduate from the program truly expressed what Narconon can do and has done when he said:

“We are gathered to celebrate all the hard work every individual has done the past three decades to reach out for those in need. Before I got to Narconon, I was lost. I was not living, and I had no knowledge of the meaning of life. I had a hole inside and brought nothing but pain to myself, my family and my surroundings.

“One of the worst things about drugs is that in the end, you don’t really care. I didn’t care for anything. Slowly, you destroy everything in your path, maybe most of all yourself. When you lose control of yourself, you are standing on an edge ready to fall at any moment. And the fall would be fatal. You stand without purpose, with death as your destiny.

“Here at Narconon, we change our destiny. I am so grateful that I and so many others have been given an opportunity of a lifetime. I had no hope in life. I came here as a damaged soul. But this program has given me life. It has given me love, it has given me hope and the ability to change my path and take my life back in hand.

“I have my family now, which I love above all back in my life. I have put them through so much hurt and misery, and I thank them for always standing by, always believing when there seemed to be nothing to believe in. What this program does is helps you overcome the past, to actually live in the present and to conquer anything in the future.

“The staff at Narconon give their lives to save others. They put an effort in from the bottom of their heart and that’s why we stand here when 30 years have gone by and they still remain, still rescue people from the darkest places in life. They show that in darkness there is a light - a light so strong that it will win if you let it.

“It is never too late. With will, we can change our fate. What we do today is what matters, and our actions will define us. We can write our own history. Narconon exists for others’ existence and they give us the possibilities to live life to the fullest.

“There are so many different people here united for the same reasons and for the same goals. I thank all the students for the connections we’ve made. I thank the staff for all they have done for all of us. All of you are amazing people with wide open hearts. Thank you for letting me know you all. And I want to congratulate Narconon - its 30 years as an organization - dedicated to help others. And I wish them greatness and success for many years to come. I will never forget Narconon and what they have done. Thank you.”

A soul saved from the devastation of drug abuse and addiction. It is a moving testimony to the success of the Narconon program.
