I have purpose |
|
Back in 1991, I slipped and fell at work on my tail bone. I was struggling with the pain and ultimately that resulted in many back surgeries and the addiction of Vicodin, Loritab, Percocet, Methadone, Oxycotin and what ever Opiate was available. My mother became very ill in 1997 so I quit my job and began taking care of her in Bella Vista Arkansas. It was a trying time, but I would not have given up taking care of her no matter what.

I have changed my life |

 Marty J. On Sunday September 23 2007, after being up for 48 hours, parting on Methamphetamine, pain pills, and a lot of alcohol, I went into a bar in my home town that I hadn’t been in, in 25 years. After sitting down at the bar I realized that the same people were sitting there that were sitting there 25 years ago when I originally walked in. It hit me that I really needed to do something with my life.

Over and over again I tried to stop |
|
 There is a drug and alcohol problem within this country that rivals all the success in the world. Countless victims fall prey to its devastation every day. The death toll in this country alone is staggering as addiction can be a silent killer too those of us who suffer from addiction do so in absolute secrecy.
I remember thinking that it could never happen to me. That I, the successful wife, mother, business owner and all around good girl, would never be a drug addict. I looked at those who did suffer with a critical eye and often times wondered "why" and quietly whispered "that will never be me". I was wrong!

I began to love myself |

 Amber H. When I first arrived to Narconon I was very broken, I was lost, confused, and had no hope of ever living a drug free life. Living a life with out drugs seemed so far fetched that I had convinced myself that I didn't even want to stop using. I stared this program with the idea that I'd give it a try, but its not going to work for me. As I progressed through this program, I started feeling better physically, I began to love myself, and I realized that I did in fact want to live a drug free life. I am now, more then I ever thought I could be, I am happy, I love myself, and I love life. Narconon has given me the ability to create a positive, productive life for myself.

 Spencer S.
By the time I had gotten to Narconon
Arrowhead I was a lost, confused and angry individual. By the age of
22 I had developed an addiction to alcohol, meth, coke, pot and a
galaxy of pharmaceutical medications. I had little family that would
talk to me and zero friends. To sum it up I had pretty much destroyed
every relationship I had ever had. I came to Narconon because I knew
that if I did not stop drinking and doing drugs not to mention living
the lifestyle that I had become accustomed to, I would surely die
probably very soon, my health was in rapid decline. When I got to
Narconon I learned through the help of the staff how to confront
situations in everyday life, how to take responsibility for my every
action, and to have a little confidence in myself.

I'm not alone anymore! |
|
 I'm not alone anymore I didn’t know where my life was headed, and I didn’t care. I was doing as many cocktails of different drugs as I could. I was 18 and had been using drugs for four years. It started by using only on the weekends, using with friends at parties, wherever. It quickly escalated to using methamphetamines along with other drugs daily and before I knew it, I was shooting up as much as I could, whenever I could. The whole time I was doing it, I thought I was alone.

 Narconon Saved My Life I am a 12 ½ year Graduate of the Narconon® Program. Narconon not only saved my life, it gave me my life back.
I was a real mess, strung out on crack cocaine. I was at such a point in my life where I was just spinning in circles. Drugs had truly taken control of my life. I had become the type of person that most people would not want to be around. I became a liar not only to myself but to everyone around me and I did not care who I hurt in the process. Drugs cost me several jobs, cars, and it even cost me my marriage, but the most important thing it cost me was my relationship with my family. I was at such a place in my life where I just did not care.

The best decision I ever made |
|
 Best decision This is my story of how I changed my life and overcame addiction. I came into drugs and alcohol at an early age. I was twelve years old when I took my first drink; I’ll always remember that feeling I had. That type of mentality followed me into my teenage years. At fourteen years old I started smoking marijuana to fit in with the older crowd.
"Before I started using drugs, I was doing well, either playing sports or busy with school. The older I got, the more I was smoking marijuana. It got to the point where that wasn’t enough for me anymore, which is when I started to drink socially.
