Drugs Are Really Treacherous
How can something that seems so positive become so negative? When I was a young man and experimented with different drugs I thought it was really good. I couldn’t understand all the older people who constantly warned and nagged about the danger of taking drugs…I mean, I felt fine.
Then one day—after many years of addiction and taking drugs, after constantly chasing the thrill I felt that first time I used—I finally realized what a trap I got myself in to. To realize I was a slave and controlled by some chemicals, drug dealers and constant cravings, was like waking up thirsty and dehydrated in a desert with no water. Broken illusions, failed dreams, lost relationships and shame, regrets and blame, was not what I planned for.
When I looked at my own and my friends’ lives, it was as far from what we were looking for that we possibly could get. It was no longer a question about feeling good, but a constant effort to escape the bad emotions, to run away from the truth and to run away from life.
Looking at all the times I defended my addiction and tried to make it look and sound nice, I can only shake my head. How f***ing stupid can one get? The truth is: DRUGS ARE A TRAP and it is a hell! For you, for your kids, for your family and anyone who cares about you.
I was happy to find Narconon. And although I had a hard time to find a way out of the trap and to create a future life, it was totally doable.
During the Narconon program, I gradually became better and better. I rediscovered things and qualities about myself that I had forgotten. Life started to slowly become interesting and fun again. It was such a release to again feel good, being inspired, being part of something and creating a real life!
Today I have been drug-free for many, many years. I work against drugs every day, I have friends all over the world, my daughter is proud of me and I have become a grandfather. I don’t say I never have a bad day or any problems, but these days I solve it and most of the time it’s fun.
You can do it too!
