PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL
Doing the Narconon Program was very challenging thing to do, was it worth it?
I look at it this way, its three months of my life! I learnt the simplistic things in life, how to learn again. As hard as it is to believe I didn’t realise I’d forgotten the simple things in life, being able to appreciate myself, respect myself, I’d forgotten that the number one thing and most important thing is myself! And before I can help others I took the most vital step which was doing this program.
I feel I’m now ready to take on the challenges on the outside world and get back to my dreams.

Rosmarie’s testimonial – 10 years on
My daughter Christine had a 10 years addiction to heroin.
It seemed after many failed attempts to help her, that she wanted to live the life of a heroin addict. I became used to living with extreme anxiety and on the other hand feel the hope that she would get better but as the months turned into years on this soulless drug, even this hope dimmed. I became very sick myself, no doubt living like this for a number of years took a toll on my health.
In 2005, I quite by accident came across a place called Get Off Drugs Naturally and the only reason I looked into it was because it read very differently to therapies we had tried before. Of particular interest to me was that no medication was used throughout the program. This was very new to me as Christine had been put on what seemed like endless replacement medications which never really did anything but add more doctors visits and more medication- she still used heroin
We took her to the centre and had an interview. At the time I could not realise that that was the turning point of our lives and we saw her start improving in health and mind for the better after each passing week.
Christine learned skills on how to live her life positively and make sound decisions and take responsibility for her own actions and her addictions. This had a powerful effect on her attitude to life and how she dealt with situations which beforehand, would have had her looking for more heroin to use.
She finished the program after a few months and although it was not an easy path it proved the most thorough and we have not looked back. Christine is now 9 years clean. In this time she married a wonderful man, they built a house and have had a beautiful child. I am terribly proud! The memory of her addiction becomes further and further away for me as we are enjoying life together very much and family occasions are now full of joy, not dread and fear.
This program saved my daughter’s life, there is no doubt about this and I am forever grateful.

Andrew Cunningham
Andrew was a young man just starting out. He fell into the drug trap at 18 years old. Marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, Cocaine and Heroin soon took over his life. Years passed and he didn’t think he had a problem. At 31 years old Andrew found himself homeless and he was living in his car. “I moved back to Hawaii thinking it would be OK and that it was the people around me who were dragging me down. Turns out it wasn’t, because I found drugs in Hawaii too. My Dad and brother had a meeting with me and said I needed help. Dad then found Narconon Arrowhead. Dad spoke to the staff there and I commenced the program and have never looked back. After completing my program I just wanted to get a job and make some money. Then I got a call from one of the staff at Narconon Hawaii asking if I wanted to come and work there. It was not something I had considered doing, but I thought I would give it a shot. I fell in love with helping people. It was an amazing feeling helping others to achieve what I had”.
Andrew has worked in the Narconon network now for the past 10 years. From Narconon Watsonville, South Lake Tahoe and Hawaii, Andrew has worked in all positions and is often referred to as the walking, talking program expert! In 2012, Andrew was recruited by Get Off Drugs Naturally (Narconon Melbourne). Working his way up through the tech divisions, Andrew currently holds the position of the Executive Director. Andrew is now happily married and has a one year old son and two wonderful step children. He has remained drug free for 10 years thanks to the Narconon program.
“Narconon gave me the tools and life skills to live a drug free and happy life. I am proof this program works. My life is now complete.”
A. Cunningham.

Program Completion – Jack Gardner
Prior to coming to Narconon my life was a constant struggle for survival. I came to Narconon as a very unstable and angry young man. Since being here I have realized who I was on drugs isn’t who I actually am. The program at times was a struggle and at times I felt like throwing it all in, but I knew deep down finishing this program was the right thing to do and finishing this program was going to be the make or break with staying off drugs. It wasn’t until recently that I felt confident that I was going to stay away from my old lifestyle and that I was doing this for me. I am so thankful that I have been given this opportunity to turn my life around and I have learnt the skills that will keep me away from drugs and that lifestyle for ever and ever and ever.

My Success Story – I came in here almost dead. I never thought I would complete this program, in fact I never knew where I was going until I got here. I didn’t even know where I was.
I have come so far in this program. I have my family back but most of all I have me back. I’m so proud of myself, I’ve come a long way and I’m sure my family is proud of me too.

Since coming to Narconon I have realized how out of touch with myself, my family and the good people around me I really was. Coming here was the best decision I have made. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I found out how to communicate to people, how to take responsibility for the things I’ve done in the past and how being honest is one of the greatest possessions a person can have.
I have now been given the opportunity to have life, my wife, my children and my ability to hold onto everything I truly love.

Wow! For the first time in a very long time I feel that i have a very real sense of myself and what I can offer my own life, my partner my children and my community!
The Narconon Program has given me the opportunity to ‘clear the fog’, to learn new life skills, and to ‘be there comfortably’ enough to feel that I can face life’s challenges head on. There’s no need to hide, there’s no need to be fearful, the masks have been removed and the ‘toolbox’ is equipped with everything that’s needed to go away and enjoy life as it’s meant to be. To be able to give that to those close to me is a true gift. Thanks Narconon!!!

After completing the Narconon Program I finally have clarity in my life. I came here very lost and confused and I had poor communication. I now feel confident in communicating, confronting and handling any situation in my life. I have self-confidence, self respect and responsibility. I am happy and confident to live a Drug Free life.

When I first came to Narconon I was in a very bad way and had no idea who I was. My relationship with my family was on the rocks and my mother would wander if i would come home that night. This program has given me my life back and my family. I’m so glad I now have the tools to keep my life on track and stay clean. I owe the rest of my life to the Narconon Program and staff. – A.

When I came to Narconon I was at the very lowest part of my life. I had lost the will to live. I enrolled onto the program and my new life started. With the help of all the staff I have pushed through my addiction of ice.
Working through the program my life was slowly changing for the positive. I then got into objectives which gave me the biggest change of my life. I got out of my depressed, angry self and became this happy, loving, outgoing person, which I haven’t seen since my children were born.
I then went through the last books which have now given me the tools I need to succeed in life. I am very grateful and thankful to all the staff that have helped me….Thank you

Just over 6 months ago I came here looking like death warmed up. I was high as a kite and had lost my kids, my partner and my home. Since coming to Narconon I have had many gains. Sauna made me feel like I had been reborn with soft skin and a great complexion. Then objectives that made me realise how we learn by our mistakes and it is never too late to start over and get on the right track. The rest of the books have made me see how I ended up where I did and showed the way to a brighter and more promising future with my kids and family. I am very thankful to Narconon and the staff.

The journey here is simply amazing. I can see why people say that there is a feeling of‘re-birth’. I struggled some days but was happy nevertheless. I learnt I must confront the good with the bad. It’s taken me a while to finish and it’s an experience I will never forget. Students and staff here got me by so much. I have so much confidence to tackle the outside world holding my head up high, thanks to Get Off Drugs Naturally
This place just makes so much sense due to its simplicity. I am now ready to reclaim my independence

Life Education Course
As I went through this book, my whole life and the people in it passed before my eyes. I’ve known a lot of bad people in my time and spent a lot of my life being up and down emotionally. With all the knowledge I’ve gained through this book, I look forward to applying it to my life and helping those that I love dearly. It’s my time to rise and let the world know I’m here and I won’t be stood on anymore!!

Where do I start? This would have to be two of the best months in my life. A turbulent roller-coaster at times but so worth it for the end result. I am not the person I was 2 months ago. The many things that I came to realize and the changes that have taken place are just too amazing for words. I have made a new connection with myself and the world around me.
I feel as though I am now the person I was born to be. I’ve learned a lot about myself, I’ve gained patience and no longer react to things with the same anger that I use to.
I’ve confronted myself and most importantly forgiven myself. I have regained control of my body and mind.
I’ve put the past behind me and I’m now able to focus on the here and now.
I feel stronger than ever before and I’m ready to take on the world. I now walk with my head held high. All I ever wished for was to be happy and content just as I am. Now I can say this is true. What and experience!
