I Made the Right Decision Coming to Narconon

For the first time in fifteen years I am able to tell my story sober. I came to the Narconon program as a guy who had spent the last decades of his life burning bridges, making enemies and hurting the ones I love. I was in a physical and mental state that had spun completely out of control. This cost me so many friends, loved ones and missed opportunities in my life. I was depleted, I had given up, I couldn’t take one more day of the constant pain I had inflicted on myself and others.

When I arrived in withdrawal, I was apprehensive. It took seven days of structured sleep, food vitamins and such before I was okay.

“My anger and general mental anguish started to dissipate and physically I feel better than I have in a long time.”

The New Life Detox was difficult at times, but then my mind became more at ease and became more in sync with my body. My anger and general mental anguish started to dissipate and physically I feel better than I have in a long time.

Objectives felt like a month-long stress test. I got pissed off confused, all different emotions. In the end it taught me patience and clarity on how to work through life’s stressful moments I learned how to conquer life’s stressful moments in a healthy way.

Life skills is where I started to let go of my pain. This took a huge weight off knowing I made mistakes, I am human, I’m not the only one and there is a way out of the black hole of addiction.

I know I have a lot of work ahead of me but I feel as though I made the right decision coming to Narconon. I would like my story to help someone else to start on the road to free themselves from the pain and change the trajectory of their future.

Thank you, Narconon!
