How My Life Changed at Narconon

It is truly amazing to look back on the last six months and see all the changes I have gone through during the Narconon program.

Before I started this program, I was a troubled person. I was very insecure about what I wanted from life. I couldn’t see my strengths and for a long time, I refused to see my weaknesses. That is why in many situations I was involved in, I acted poorly. I put myself in many troubling circumstances because I was irresponsible. When I think about how things used to be, I get shocked. It is truly amazing what the shift of one’s perspective can do. It is unbelievable to think that my healthy life only started once I started having a clean mind and body.

Becoming drug-free was the best gift I could ever give to myself. It opened my eyes to a whole new reality. Everything is much brighter and more beautiful on this side.

Now I have come to a point where I look at my life from a broad perspective. By doing so, I started to have a deep understanding of everything around me. I now realize that my life is my own to create. I alone create my life and I alone can change it. When I first started discovering the true power that lies within me, I started letting go of anything that no longer serves me and doesn’t help me grow.

Confronting my past is truly powerful. Not only am I releasing myself from painful memories of the past, but also my awareness of the present has increased dramatically. Once I started becoming more and more aware of who I am, what I am doing, and what journey I am following, I started feeling more responsible for myself and my actions.

I now understand that everything I say or do affects all other aspects of my life. I am becoming more patient with myself. I no longer have that urge to rush myself and I have started to practice more and more the art of listening. In the written materials of the Narconon rehab program, the great L. Ron Hubbard says the way out is the way through. That is why I accept anything and everything that comes my way. If it helps me with my journey, I accept it and keep it. Otherwise, I just let it go.

Everything I am learning day after day is helping me become free. The changes I am going through are fundamental. But I ’m not only changing myself on the Narconon program. I have forever changed my family, my friends and everyone around me. I am a better me now, and I continue bettering myself through my dedication and will to live!
