| When I was 15 years old I started down the road to chaos and drug addiction… M.T. When I was 15 years old, I started down the road to chaos and drug addiction. I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere and I had no tools to confront my life. I thought that drugs were my only solution. Despite having seen many friends of mine become degraded heroin addicts, I felt like the fleeting peace that I got from using heroin was worth it. I was using heroin, cocaine, LSD, marijuana and anything else I could get my hands on and my life quickly started sliding out of control. When I was 17, I packed up a backpack and decided to leave my hometown because I thought that leaving my old scene would solve the problems that I was creating for myself and like I could avoid the drug addiction I was spiraling down into. After being homeless for over two years, sleeping outside, in alleyways or on other people's floors, I realized that running away was not the answer so I moved back and continued using while my parents and four little brothers watched me fall apart. My parents got me into a traditional rehab. At that point I wanted to quit, but after 30 days, I still didn't have the tools to handle my life and immediately started back down the same road. After finishing my 12-step program I moved away again thinking my fate was to die a drug addict and not wanting my parents and brothers to see it. I had a pager and my Dad paged me every day to make sure that I was still alive. One day he said that he had gotten on the internet and found this place called Narconon and I could go there to handle my life. I didn't think I could do it. On the fourth of July I was walking around on the streets and I looked up at the sky where all of these beautiful fireworks were exploding and I thought, "my life isn't meant to be like this" and just sat down and cried. I called my Dad and he immediately got one of my brothers to pick me up and take me in for treatment. When I got to Narconon I was an emotionally stripped and totally degraded being. Through doing the courses here, which was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life, I learned how to confront myself and my problems. I learned how to be comfortable with myself and got to actually find out why I had begun using drugs in the first place and handle those issues. I had this overwhelming sense of peace and felt, for the first time in my life, like I had the ability to handle any situation and find solutions instead of being the total effect of my environment. Piece by piece, my life started getting put back together again. Each step of the program built upon the last until at the end I knew with certainty that I would never have to use another drug again in my life. After almost three years I am still free of drugs and alcohol. I have my life and happiness back and I owe this all to Narconon. M.T. - Narconon |
