It’s quite easy to abuse your painkillers. You won’t even notice when you want to abuse and take far more than the prescribed amount. This is what happened to me, I went through a hip replacement surgery and was prescribed pain medication after the surgery.

I did not even notice when I started to abuse the painkillers, it made me unable to do anything. I was very depressed. My depression and drug abuse began to bleed into all aspects of my life. Slowly I began to lose interest in everything, I started blaming doctors for my addiction.

My family showed me the real mirror and the real reason for my addiction.

I was ashamed, so I decided to stop.

“Narconon created the miracle—not only did I relinquished my addiction, but I found true happiness.”

I came to Narconon to handle my problem because I was unable to do it by myself. Narconon created the miracle—not only did I relinquished my addiction, but I found true happiness. I feel better than before, both physically and mentally. Narconon helped me get back the person I used to be, and even better.
