Wanting to Be Sober

“In many ways, I feel like a new person since addressing my past. I feel free from the burden of guilt by having apologized to my parents for all the lies I had told them when I was using drugs. I also feel good about my re-entry into the family as a clean and honest family member.

“My ethics are much stronger now. About two weeks ago, I had a great realization. When I first came to Narconon I wanted to want to get off drugs, but I did not really want to at that point. I knew they were not good for me, but I still fantasized about doing them.

“This feeling is completely gone. I have passed that barrier and now I want to be sober.

“I learned who I really am and who I want to become. I also identified the thoughts and actions which distract and deter me from being that person. Thanks to the staff in the Ethics section for helping me to get honest and for all of their help and guidance.”
