“I Didn’t Know that Life
Could Feel So Good.”

When I came into the Narconon program, I had been doing any drugs I could find for nearly 10 years. I had forgotten what it felt like to be drug-free, but when I finished the sauna program, I recalled the real me and how I used to feel happy and alive.

The sauna changed the way I feel in every part of my life. As I was doing the sauna program, I could feel the Xanax, Ecstasy and Ritalin coming out of my body. I thought I would love the feel of those drugs as they came back into my blood stream, but actually I hated the weird feelings they gave me. I was so happy to not have them effecting me again and to be free of the depressing effects of the drugs I had taken.

I can hardly remember the last time my love for others felt real and alive in me. Being awake again allowed me to laugh, and cry and feel every emotion in my life. I found that I could now see things clearly and most importantly, I SLEPT WITHOUT TAKING ANY DRUGS.

I also need to mention that I am dreaming, beautiful dreams and when I wake, I am feeling the same beautiful feelings.

I didn’t know that life could feel so good. Maybe it is silly to say, but I have never been someone that is proud of myself, but I am today.

I know I still have a long way to go, but I am excited about my journey and I feel, for the first time, that the future is good and I can count on myself.
