I Managed to Win My Battle With Drugs

Happy young man

I started drinking alcohol when I was 13, I was not aware of the damage I was doing to myself, “I just wanted to have fun.” I started drinking alcohol on weekends with friends, beer, whiskey… every time I was drinking more. When I turned 14 years old, I started smoking marijuana. I felt important and older after smoking marijuana.

I don’t remember when drugs started playing with me. From weekends to every day.

When I turned 16, I tried cocaine for the first time, and that day, that one shot changed my life.

I lost the job I had, the job of my dreams because of my cocaine use. I started to steal. I even stole from my mother for my cocaine use. My family was really devastated.

I went to doctors to get rid of my addiction but my life really turned to hell. I started using pills and got hooked to all those pills as well, without leaving my addiction to drugs and alcohol. It was driving me crazy.

One day I left the house and did not return for three days. When came back my parents had everything ready and I found myself in a rehabilitation center named Narconon.

This was the best thing my parents could have done to me. At Narconon, I not only got rid of my addiction but also got tools to remain drug-free throughout my life.

I have finished the program and I can tell you that life is wonderful without drugs. My family is proud of me and I have a bright future ahead.

Thanks to Narconon, I managed to win my battle with drugs.
