It Is Possible to Come Back from Addiction!

I am 25 years old and I have thrown 8 years of my life away on drugs. I took drugs for the first time at school. That day at school, one of my friends asked me, “Do you want to try?” I did not think for a second and just said, “Yes.”

Since then my life began changing—I went from being a very polite and sweet girl with good manners to a “junkie”—an angry girl who did not listen to anyone and was only interested in taking heroin and getting high. No one can imagine the life of a drug-addicted girl. I hurt all those who loved me.

I’m lucky to have a great mother—the only one who tried to save me with different methods and sent me to different rehabs. She did not give up and did not want me to die as a drug addict. However, none of the rehabilitation programs helped me get rid of my addiction and I continued to get high. I lost all hope and was just waiting to die.

But then my mother found Narconon. I went there with little hope and started the program. And then a miracle happened. My life began to change, and this time the change was better. I began to see a better future. It was not easy, but the program helped me to let go of my addiction. I’m drug free now. I no longer think of drugs. The Narconon program gave me a drug-free life, my body is cleaned of all drugs and my mind is also clearer. I can see things much more clearly now.

I just want to say that it is possible to come back—fight for your and your family’s life.

It is true—Narconon helped me and they can help you too. My thanks to Narconon.
