Success Stories

Narconon has done me a great deal of wonder! I have learned not just how to steer clear of alcohol and drugs, I have learned how to live! I have been given the knowledge, skills and the tools to go out into the real world and be someone with purpose and confidence. What I have learned is too great to keep to myself! I can honestly say that not only do I feel the conviction, but I also feel that it’s my duty to share what I have gained since I've been here. A life is worth it!

Almost everybody had given up on me. I was considered a lost cause. Most were of the opinion: once a junkie, always a junkie. I was homeless, violating my probation, and strung out on heroin again.
I was at the depths of despair. I welcomed death, but at the same time wanted badly to change my life so my daughter could have the father she deserved. Narconon took a huge gamble on trying to save my life, and although the odds were against them, they succeeded where others failed. Not only am I clean, sober, and happy, I am helping others over come their addictions. Thank you Narconon for giving me the tools I need to be successful in life. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to help others change their lives. This was something I needed to do to free my soul from past transgressions. I am a new man with a positive outlook on life. Words cannot describe my gratitude. And there is a little girl out there who holds you very dearly in her heart for giving her, her father back.

The Narconon Program has helped me in more ways than one. It has
given me back the hope that was once lost in my venture with drugs
and alcohol. I can now see that life has so much to offer me. I am
able to find happiness with some of the simplest pleasures in
life. I can proudly say that I am truly happy with myself and what
I have to offer, and that is to be a positive influence to all.

Narconon has given me back hope. Through my life I had given up hope and accepted the death sentence of being an alcoholic and drug addict. By experiencing and now being apart of Narconon I know there is hope as I now have choices. I've been able to know, through the program that I can overcome what I had previously thought not to be possible. My body got cleared of the many years of toxins I had put into it as well as my thinking by going through the sauna sessions. After this, I came to know that it wasn't drugs or alcohol that were the problem, it was my not confronting of what I see know to be a beautiful life! I can make the right choices to enjoy and give back what has been given to me. As well, my family finally has me back!

When I first arrived at Narconon I was confused and scared. I had been on psychiatric medication for almost a year. My senses were dulled and my mind was numb. I came to Narconon because of what I had read about the program and it’s “no drug” policy. I wasn’t always dull and numb. I had been happy once and felt the drugs were debilitating me in every aspect of my life and slowly eliminating my dreams of the future.
This was only making me sadder and I felt hopeless about continuing life. I knew there had to be an answer. Narconon Nevada has saved my life. Though I was scared at first, it was at once replaced by excitement. Everyone that works here expresses nothing less than the utmost understanding and care. In detox, through assists, I began to feel again. In sauna (which is the most amazing experience) everyday I felt more and more clear in my thinking. My body felt better. I had more energy and I began to smile and laugh more. In sauna, I could feel the drugs leaving my system, it was such a relief. I used to get headaches almost every day and now I don’t. I have been shown the way to happiness, what the book told me were things I already knew but never really had a process or was shown the technology to implement the skills and promote a lifestyle change. I am still who I am, but everyday in the program I learn how to make myself even better. I am becoming more aware of myself and have searched out an found my weaknesses and have turned them into strengths. This program has challenged me to confront and handle aspects of my life and myself that
I would run away from before (literally and figuratively). I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about a year ago. I have seen that without drugs I am able to find myself again. Only without drugs have
I overcome such horrible demons because believe it or not my own strength has pulled me through. My personal ability is raised daily. The satisfaction I have gained in being able to conquer “impossible” things is incredible. Now, I know, thanks to Narconon Nevada, that without drugs I can achieve more personally and professionally than I would have ever been able to do so on drugs. My current happiness with myself has no bounds. My parents haven’t seen me yet, but they recognize the change in my voice. I’m speaking more clearly. My living and breathing today is a testament to Narconon miracles. I am surrounded by inspiration. The staff has all been in the same situations as the students. They all understand our feelings and reactions and only hope and wish for us to gain the same satisfaction and happiness that they have found for themselves through the program.
This program is more than just detox, it is life skills and its teachings are practical enough to be applied to the rest of my life!

SUCCESS STORY
I spent the greater part of my teens and early twenties abusing drugs. When my family finally confronted me about my problem, I was in excessive financial debt, as well as in trouble with the court systems. I had done a lot of physical damage to my body, as well as my mind. My relationships with my friends and family had deteriorated and my self worth was non-existent. I was broke, sick, and alone, and I used drugs to deal with the situation they had helped create, which only made things worse. And somehow, I still
didn’t have the ambition to change. When I agreed to come to Narconon, I believed I was only doing it to pacify my family. At first, I fought the program tooth and nail thinking it was a lost cause, and I had to hit my own personal rock bottom before I finally realized that I wanted to change, for
myself, and for my family. I realized how much I was hurting the people that loved me, and that there was so much to work for because I was worth it. Choosing to work with Narconon’s program, and the people who teach it, was the most beneficial thing I have ever done to improve my life.
The program helped me understand things about myself I had never realized. It showed me the control I have to change things and the control I have to improve my quality of life. It helped me to effectively deal with all the guilt and shame of my past, and move forward to better my life and the lives of those I care for. Since graduating, I have reestablished my trust with my family and friends. I’ve regained my self-confidence and ambition. I’ve finally started living a life of real substance, with a satisfying, productive career and goals for my future. The relationships I’ve built are honest and meaningful. Most importantly though, I no longer feel like I need to alter or escape from my reality with substance abuse. I’m happy and proud of who I am, but I couldn’t have done it alone. The program at Narconon gave me the tools I
needed to take my life in the direction I wanted. And as long as I continue to use what I learned, I know I can be successful in achieving whatever I want out of life.
