How Drugs Ruined My Life and How Narconon Saved it

While I was a drug user, my values in life were all turned around and I could not see how bad things really were.

When I started using drugs, I was having daily problems with my family. Eventually, I created so many problems that I lost their trust. I thought that I could solve my problems by going and using drugs.

I wasn’t honest with my former fiancée. I was lying to her and cheating on her. Finally, I lost her.

I started staying away from my old friends and instead, starting hanging out with guys who were using drugs like I was. Everything looked good to me at the time but more problems were coming. And they got bigger and bigger.

In my community, I was not helping anyone else, I was breaking the law, fighting with the police, driving fast and putting my life and the lives of others in danger. When I looked at other people, I thought they were all bad. But when I looked at myself, I thought I was perfect. In actuality, I was spending too much money every day and spending every night with people that I didn’t even know.

I didn’t care for anything in the world around me. I didn’t care what I damaged. My mind was fixated on drugs and nothing else.

When I started the Narconon drug rehab program, I started to see things from another viewpoint. I changed everything here that I couldn’t change before when I was using drugs. For me this change is priceless. There’s not enough money in the world that can be paid for that kind of change in my life. That’s what this program has done for me.
