DRUG-FREE LIFE
From Darkness to Dawn: Overcoming Drug Addiction
For those with a loved one who is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it may seem that everything is black, that there is no way out. We understand. But there is hope and a way to regain the spark and light of life.
I Have My Life Again
My best accomplishment in the program is going from broken addict to a free drug fighter and recovery coach and Narconon and Drug-Free World supporter. I would also add that I now have more pride in encouraging new students going through withdrawals, than in receiving my graduation certificate. My real diploma is in helping others get off drugs. Helping others matters more than a piece of paper to me.
Forever Grateful to Narconon!

I Got Another Chance to Live!
I remember my careless childhood, I was an only child, and my parents gave me all of their attention and I really liked it. I was doing well at school and was also playing sports (football, freestyle wrestling). Around the fifth grade I got my first taste of beer.
I Started Living!
A parent tells their child, “ Don’t smoke weed! If you do, you’ll get very sick and die! ” The child nods his head in agreement and goes outside to play. There he sees a bunch of older boys smoking the mentioned weed. The child curiously watches the boys, waiting for them to start falling dead.
Finally I Made My Mother Proud!
Before doing Narconon program , I thought that what was happening to me was a vicious cycle that simply couldn’t be broken. I had been on heroin for over 11 years, taking mainly methadone for 4 years.
