Narconon Graduate Overcomes Heroin Addiction

Life is filled with obstacles. When you add addiction to the load of obstacles in life, you just make things harder on yourself. That’s what I did. I made life so hard for myself that I was sick and tired of living. I was suicidal and angry. The only time I wasn’t thinking about killing myself was when I was high because obviously, when you are high on heroin, you aren’t even thinking. My grandmother couldn’t take it anymore. She told me the stress was killing her and that if I loved her I would at least try Narconon. So, I entered this program and each time I was ready to quit and bail I imagined just how it would break my grandma’s heart. She’s the only family I have and she has never stopped loving me. So, I continued through the program even though I was dying to quit. I’m so happy I didn’t. I’ve been at Narconon for three months and I am no longer that suicidal and angry person. My grandma visited me and she is beyond thrilled at how I’ve changed. She said she has never been prouder of me. I cried like a baby when I saw her but I’ve finally become a real man. I am a responsible, sober adult thanks to my grandmother, the Narconon staff, and the Narconon program.
