I Can Finally Be Proud of Who I Am!

Wow!!!!! I seriously cannot believe this day has come. I look back to 4 months ago when I arrived at Narconon for the first time… and although I cannot remember much about it, I know how broken and mixed up I was. I truly was a hot mess!

The person who walked or should I say stumbled in was not actually a person, but a walking dead filled with anger, darkness, disease, weakness, and fear. That shell of a person was careless and reckless and risked herself and anyone or anything around her so she could autopilot her way down a path of destruction.

I remember being in the withdrawal unit and watched those at the end of their program in envy. I longed to be where they were in life but failed to realize that would be me one day. Now here I am, standing tall, laughing, waking up in the actual morning, not in the middle of the afternoon and getting ready.

I also found a group of individuals who care about me, don’t judge me, and appreciate who I am…

I look at my life through eyes full of love, motivation, determination, confidence, and genuine happiness. I am so happy I chose to come to Narconon because it was here that I found who I was. I also found a group of individuals who care about me, don’t judge me, and appreciate who I am. They can look at my past with me and laugh about the minor things and console me about the deep things, all the while never making me feel bad.

I don’t regret who I was because it made me who I am today and for once I can finally be proud of what that is!
