Love and Peace
A person on the Narconon drug rehab program progresses through several steps designed to help them recover from the harm done to them by years of drug abuse. Some of these steps focus on helping them build the skills they need to create and preserve a productive, enjoyable and sober life. In the story below, a graduate of Narconon Europe outlines the improvements he achieved from several of these steps.
He mentions the following steps:
New Life Detoxification: A sauna-based detox that helps each person wash away accumulated toxic residues from years of drug or alcohol abuse. The result is a refreshed viewpoint and greater ability to think clearly.
Objectives: A series of exercises that enable each Narconon student to live in the present and leave pain and trauma behind. A greater ability to perceive the current environment and control one’s actions and emotions also result from these exercises.
Overcoming Ups & Downs in Life: Each student learns the characteristics of an antisocial person and compares them to the characteristics of a social person. He (or she) then learns how to deal with each type of personality.
Personal Values: Students learn how personal integrity is lost and how they can recover it and preserve it for good. During this course, each student examines the harmful acts they have committed and in doing so, achieves a greater freedom from guilt and shame.
Changing Conditions in Life: This is where our students learn how to improve conditions in any area of life. Specific formulas are taught that enable a person to take a problematic situation and turn it into a positive one.
“Today I finished my Narconon Program. I made up a plan for the future to improve the safety of the environment I live in. I made up a plan to improve my condition using the formulas I learned. I will find a new job to change my environment and I will follow every step I have learned in the formula to change my conditions in life.
“I want to thank every Narconon staff member because they have been very supportive and helpful to me. It has all become much more clear now. I am very satisfied and proud of the work I did during my program.
“I now am capable of handling my life
and I can now achieve anything I want.”
“After the New Life Detoxification in the sauna, I felt like my body was very clean—clean from all the drugs I took for years.
“The Objectives really helped me to learn how to stay in the present and just be in the moment. I had a lot of realizations and many amazing wins. I learned that I can confront another person and I also was able to take an honest look at myself.
“I can see the difference between a social person and an antisocial person. I looked honestly into my own life and recognized all the wrong acts I have committed. That was hard and emotional, but now I can close that book and start my new life without drugs. I now am capable of handling my life and I can achieve anything I want.
“Narconon gave me very important tools to handle my life and my point of view. It was a very hard program but in life you have to work hard to achieve things. Self-discipline and self-knowledge are the keys to success and I am very proud that I finished this program in the right way.
“Love and peace.
