SUCCESS STORY
I Was Running From My Problems
I Was Running From My Problems When I first arrived at Narconon, my life, and every part of it was in disarray. I was an emotional wreck. I was never in the present moment; always stuck in past moments that happened in my life.
Getting Off the Road of Addiction
I was an opioid user on and off for the better part of four years. I tried a few different ways to get clean. I attended meetings as well as put all my faith in a Higher Power. Neither of those would last for very long.
Excited to Move Forward in Life
Coming to Narconon, I had several goals. I wanted first and foremost to get off drugs/alcohol, particularly Suboxone. I wanted to fix my sleep schedule.
Wiping My Slate Clean
When I first arrived at Narconon, I was very nervous my first night. I thought everyone was going to judge me, but then realized we were alike in some way or another.
I was Lost, Drug-Addicted, and Beaten
Four months ago, on January 24th, I was locked up. I was lost, drug-addicted, and beaten. I had given up on myself and everything else in my life… I grew up in the Carolina’s, and like most people where I am from, I was into football and was pretty good at it.
Changing my Addict Mindset
I arrived at Narconon on December 12th, 2019, addicted to benzos , heavily drinking, and smoking weed. I was shown to the withdrawal unit, where one of the hardest parts of the process would take place. I spent my time withdrawing in withdraw (go figure).
“Repairing the Damage I Caused”
When I arrived at Narconon Louisiana mid-January 2020, I was in a dark place; strung out on meth and on the verge of losing everything. With what courage I had left, I went into detox and started to go through the withdrawals.
Tackling the Reason I Used Drugs
When I first came to Narconon, I was under the influence of marijuana and some medications. I was a nervous wreck, and I was starting to go down a hole that I knew I couldn't get myself out of. I had gotten kicked out of my mother’s house, and I had nothing.
Giving Me My Life Back
When I first arrived at Narconon my life was a disaster. My life had become a good run of bad decisions and marks on my soul and with no drive to pursue anything in life, I threw away opportunities with my scholastic and athletic career.
“Narconon Has Given Me Freedom”
Narconon has given me freedom. It has given me my life back. During my time in this program, I have gained the desire to rebuild myself and increased my desire to create a better life for my children and myself.
