Narconon Helped Me Be Whole Again

My name is Leslie and I went through the Narconon program in late 2005. Before I came to Narconon my life had completely fallen apart. I was 19 years old when I started using heavy narcotics and within a year of using I had nearly destroyed, torn apart my family, lost my job and found myself heavily in debt. Needless to say, I didn't have much hope for myself at all.

Right before I cam to Narconon I found myself in the hospital because my body couldn't take what I was doing to it any longer. At that time I asked my mom if I could go to a rehab near the beach. My mom immediately started researching treatment centers and fortunately found multiple rehabs near the ocean. She called many of them but was very intrigued by Narconon due to their understanding of what a person will go through during withdrawal from drugs. As soon as my body had healed enough to travvel up-state I made it to Narconon.

Due to the life I had been living before I came to Narconon, I had a lot of trouble daling with parts of life that seem very easy to most people. I had put myself into a lot of troubling situations while I was using and I carried many of those troubles with me constantly. Because I was so enveloped with what I had been through I had a very hard time following the program every step of the way. The staff gave me a lot of personal attention and although I argued and put up a wall around myself they never gave up on me. They showed me that they cared and that they understood what I was going through every day I was in the program. Because of their care I ended up confronting and ealing with all the problems I had caused myself while using. I got through them and can honestly say I am no longer affected by my past.

With time my body became very healthy again and my disintegrated family became whole again. I learned the importance oflistening to those who are in charge and found value in teamwork. I can honestly say that thanks to Narconon I found purpose in many different parts of life. Narconon taught me that I can make my life whatever I want it to be.

I have now been sober from all drugs and alcohol for 4 years. Although I made many gains throughout the program, the time after I graduated has been what's proved to me that I am whole again. I have continued to make gains on a regular basis and have found a personal gaol of always improveing every part of my life. I am happier now than I have ever been in my entire life. I have self-confidence in my ability to overcome any hardship I will face. I know that there is nothing in life which will make me turn to drugs or alcohol again. It feels absolutely amazing to be able to say those words and I owe that all to Narconon.
