Narconon saved my life. I know I’ll never touch drugs ever again. I couldn’t do it by myself.

I am 20 years of age and I started using heavy drugs when I was 14. I got to a point where I had no control over my life and nothing mattered to me except scoring my next hit. I tried various programs in the past but I would only last a couple of weeks until I was back into my bad habits.

I then heard about the Narconon program, so I decided to give it a go. The further I got through the program the more things seemed clear to me, like I was breaking through a wall where there were drugs, and all the problems that come with drugs on one side and on the other was feeling good to be alive and taking responsibility for my actions.

I completed the program around four months ago. My family can't believe the changes in me now, compared to when I was a drug user. I know I don't need to take drugs now to deal with any difficulties in my life or take them to feel good because it feels a lot better when you can sort out any difficulties that come into your life and to take control of it.

I recommend the Narconon program to anyone who wants to get off and stay off drugs. I know it works. Thanks!”

I’ve just finished the detox program in the sauna. I am now free to be me. Today I have broken the shackles of the past. I have reached the end phenomena at last. I have broken out of my prison and I am now feeling like a clean, free and wonderful human being.

Narconon saved my life. I know I’ll never touch drugs ever again.Thank you all for all your help and caring. I couldn’t have done it by myself."

[After the Detox program]

What you have done for me has changed my life. When I started your program my life was in tatters... since doing the program I have managed to become my old independant self again and I’m growing more confident every day back in the world.

[A letter from a graduate at Narconon Melbourne]

At the age of 19 I tried LSD and ecstasy. I went through a phase of taking them recreationally on the weekend. I did not see them as a danger but just something to try and do. Slowly and surely, my life was slipping away into a drug-ridden maze and I didn't even realize it. By the age of twenty-two I had been using heroin for two years and I suddenly realized I was what some people would call a junkie. However, I was lucky enough to find out about the Narconon Program.

It saved my life. I am now drug free two years later and happy, and that is amazing- I don't even think about taking drugs anymore- my life is totally different now. The Narconon Program saved my life and I am forever grateful.

[Success story written by a Narconon graduate]

I came here totally defeated and with no desire or passion to continue with life. That has all changed. I now have new dreams and an excited about the future. I don’t know how to express the extent of my gratitude so I’ll just fully demonstrate it by my actions. I truly thank you for giving me a second life.
