Narconon Success Story – A.J. 2009

Written on February 2nd, 2010 by Kevin DesrosiersView Comments

Well, I have been putting this off for a while now. Not because I don’t want to tell the world the story of my success, but because there are no words to do the journey justice. I have as of today, been sober 1 year. I am a 22-year-old single mother. I left home when I was 14, because already I couldn’t face my mother in the condition I was in. I was already using PCP and Cocaine, soon after I was selling drugs. I used cocaine heavy for years and smoked crack. Because of this, and the lack of sleep I started using prescription drugs to sleep. I needed to be high night and day. I was going through withdrawals in my sleep, waking me in 2-hour intervals.

I Am a Drug Addict and I Need Help

Written on January 22nd, 2010 by Nick HayesView Comments

The first step in recovering from drug addiction is first admitting that you do have a drug addiction problem. This is the hardest step to take in dealing with drug addiction. This does not mean that someone has all of a sudden realized that they are addicted to drugs. Drug addicts know from the beginning of their addiction but most are in denial because let’s face facts here, drug addiction is a horrible thing and is viewed by drug addicts as a weakness.
