Being Honest Saved My Life

Coming to Narconon was a huge struggle. When I first got arrived, I wanted to leave but pushed myself through.

I was scared, anxious, and nervous when I first got into withdrawal. But, with the help of the withdrawal staff, I felt much better. The constant assists and mental exercises, and drills made me feel so much better and got me focused on now instead of the past. I felt much better by the end of withdrawal than the first day I came in. After withdrawal, I went on to Sauna.

When I first got into Sauna, I was not feeling good physically. I remember having no energy and being pale all day. As time went on, I felt better each day. After a couple of weeks, I was no longer anxious or depressed. My sleep and energy were slowly getting better as well. I feel like I got all the drugs out of my system. I can 110% say my body is purified from all the drug residues and toxins. I feel like an eighteen-year-old again. With my energy returning, I gained a new sense of vitality and overall well-being. I genuinely feel like I’m back to my normal, sober self.

After completing sauna, I went on to Objectives. I got so much out of Objectives with the help of my twin. With each Objective, I started to feel better and think more clearly. I reached the end result of every Objective with amazing realizations and regained abilities. I became present, had better awareness and control of my environment, and learned to take commands without any upset feelings about my twin. Objectives taught me patience and perseverance, and having such a great twin was a game-changer.

“I was finally able to be honest with my mom and dad, and I felt thrilled. I got more relief than I could even explain from it. At first, I didn’t want to do it, but it turned out amazing, and I feel like I’m no longer holding onto a lie.”

Going onto Life Skills was the program’s most challenging and rewarding part. I was finally able to be honest with my mom and dad, and I felt thrilled. I got more relief than I could even explain from it. At first, I didn’t want to do it, but it turned out amazing, and I feel like I’m no longer holding onto a lie. I took responsibility for all the wronging doing I’ve done and accept it for what it is. I worked and changed the conditions of my life, which wasn’t easy, but it was necessary to my sobriety.

Being honest has finally saved my life, and I feel much more comfortable in my skin. Thank you to all the Narconon staff for helping me. I couldn’t have done this without any of you!
