When did drugs become a problem for you?
Drugs became a life-destroying problem for me when I began cooking my cocaine and smoking crack.
When did you hear about Narconon?
My mom found Narconon on the Internet after I had tried and failed at 3 different 21 day programs.
What are the differences you've noticed between Narconon and any other rehab you've been to or heard about?
Narconon doesn't treat me as though I'm permanently diseased by addiction. Narconon doesn't make you live negative past experiences over and over, but instead brings you into present time.
What steps in the Narconon program helped or are going to help you the most?
The sauna detoxification helped me by clearing my body of residual drugs. My training routines taught me to confront, control and communicate; I arrived here unable to do these 3 basic skills necessary for survival.
If I asked you to compare how you feel now to how you felt before coming to Narconon what would you say?
I have completely turned around. I came here hopeless and now I am very excited and can't wait to live each day as a happy, contributing member of society.
If you had something to communicate to the public about drugs or the Narconon program what would it be ?
Drugs only lead to hopelessness, obsession and eventually death. If you or someone you know has problems with drugs, Narconon is the way to get better.
How do you feel now after completing the Narconon Program?
I feel elated, happy, excited and hopeful for the future!
