Say No

JUST SAY NO



Here is the success of a Narconon student who has learned how to say NO to drugs and yes to success.



“Just because you find drugs doesn’t mean you have to do them. I was at the movies on Monday and some dude came up to me and asked if I would give him money in exchange for some drugs so he could get home. I told him to get away from me and that I didn’t do that shit. Drugs found me and I chose to not touch them because I have let go of that life style and those cravings of artificial pleasures.



I am empowered and in the present. I apply strength, intention and commitment to a healthy life style that bears way more fruit than drugs ever did or could. By making up my mind just because I am around drugs doesn’t mean I have to do them anymore. In fact, I don’t want to do them. They disgust me and so do people who are on them.



I found Narconon, I made up my mind to embrace it and because of that I have let go of a drug infested and negative life style. I have moved into a healthy and positive drug free present.”



Whether they came here on heroin, Oxycontin, methamphetamine, cocaine or pot, our students are saying NO drugs and YES to happiness and success.

Eye of the Storm

Narconon Success Story



In the eye of the storm there is stillness. Chaos surrounds me on all sides and the sound of whipping winds invades my ear canals and shakes the drums deep into my body. Fear is the last thing on my mind. There is a calmness that sits inside me, knowing that for now, I am safe.



A question resonates from the inside out….will I remain here or will this storm shift and swallow my spirit into this mess that is worldly? My mind yells to my body to hold tight and hold steady. This is the safest place you can be. This is where you want to be and this is where you shall remain. Do not allow your eyes to wander and grow weary with what surrounds you. Live from inside yourself and out and you will defy the odds.



I am as pure and calm as the eye of this storm. I do not sway – I sustain.





This is a Narconon success as only a genuine Narconon can produce.

Patience

Narconon Success





“I realized how far I have come in only 10 weeks. I’m able to work through intense emotions that I always just swept under the rug. When I first came into the program I was so hateful with tons of aggression and many nervous habits. I couldn’t even make it 10 minutes without upset. Now I can make it through anything.



I have learned patience I though I’d never find within myself and an attitude I thought drugs shattered almost 10 years ago. I’ve learned how to love again, myself and others and I found the smile I lost as a little girl. The pain I’ve felt for so long has been handled now and I’m no longer afraid.



I feel like I can conquer the world. I’m actually excited for the next obstacle that I may face because I have the tools to handle it.”



This is one of many successes, just today. Whether it is methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, we can address it. 877-413-3073

Happy to be alive!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!



“As someone who has been high at many past holidays I want to say the following – I am happy to be alive and this Christmas when I see my family I plan to enjoy the people and the places I am connected to. Because of this, I do not feel the need to drink or do drugs for fear that it would cloud the clear vision I am gaining. Vision is being used here in the spiritual sense. Not just this holiday, but forever and always for the rest of my life.”





Most people would not believe that drug treatment is the place to spend the holidays or that it could be a place from which such joy and hope could come but is true as evidenced by the many wins that we have each and every day here at Narconon.



Let success, happiness and joy replace the cocaine, methamphetamine and pot.

Happy Holidays from Narconon!

NARCONON SUCCESS STORY











Happy Holidays from Narconon! Here is a little joy to put in your stocking and to pass to others who might need it. For those who are feeling blue – have hope. These are the stories of people whose lives had been devastated by heroin, cocaine and Oxycontin.









“On this course I cam to the realization that I have control over my own destiny. I can look and find something in my life such as a new job or family.”



________________________________________



It was like I was in an airplane climbing above the thick gray storm clouds. I began to see myself and my choices and my surroundings from a new perspective. I had abundant realizations about my environment and self control. Once I realized some very important mistakes I was making, my attitude changed over night. No longer was acting or feeling silly. I saw my present space, time and problems in the large scheme of things. I know I’m on my way to discovering some very important things about my past choices and most definitely about my future choices in regards to what I can actually consider important in my life.



_________________________________________



I realized that not only do I exist, but objects around me exist and I can touch them. I have felt alive since sauna and now I realize that there are things that exist besides me. These things exist to such a high level that those objects around me fit together to form the larger physical universe around me. I realized I am not merely a living entity that is separate from my surroundings, but rather an actual part of my environment.

Healthy Lifestyle

Success



Here is another success story from a Narconon student. It is our hope to spread holiday cheer.



“I realized there are friendships that I have to detach from. I had always taken the stance they might change and choose healthy lifestyle and I could be that model of sobriety in their lives. Instead, I always ended up falling back into the using life style I was trying to help them out of. Now I see it is not my responsibility to pull these people out of addiction. I can offer them the tools and contacts necessary to recovery, but beyond that I must dispense with these friendships that are a danger to sobriety.



There are many things and people I could have in my life but many of these I do not need to have the will power to control and bring into my life.



I have the ability to control every aspect of my life. It is within my power and intentions to dispense emotions, impulses and people that endanger my sobriety.



I also have the ability to acquire the tools and support system and surround myself in a manner that ensures a happy and healthy life. I can have happiness, success and wealth, but this is only possible if I push myself to have and to properly lace the tools I ma learning to stay sober.



I realize that there are so my amazing things and people that I could have in my life.”



While much of the world is caught up in the woes of the depression, Narconon is bringing new life to those who had been at the bottom of despair.



Whether it is heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine or pot Narconon is here for those who know life can be better.

Behavior Problems

Join Together reports that a New Study by the Center for the Advancement of Health reports that physicians “are ignoring national health guidelines by failing to discuss high-risk behavioral issues like alcohol and other drug misuse and safety concerns with teens,”



While it is commonly known that parents make the biggest impact on their teens, the more teens hear that drugs are bad for them, the better. For the most part there is an onslaught of misinformation or at the very least temptation to do drugs. Prescription drugs, marijuana and even heroin – our teens hear a lot about these drugs. There needs to be some balance of information in the other direction.



Doctors can help skip the scales in the direction of the truth about drugs. They are respected and from their perspective can most definitely do a good job of informing teens of the real safety issues involved with drug use.



Let’s push to get these national health guidelines implemented.



In addition to providing effective drug treatment and education, Narconon collaborates with and supports any group that is behind effective prevention. It is too big of a job for Narconon to do alone.

Holiday Cheer

SUCCESS STORY FROM A NARCONON STUDENT



The whole world will want some holiday cheer during the season and many people will try hard to find some. At Narconon we have good will and miracles every day. We are trying to spread the good news especially during the holiday seasons, because we represent hope – real hope for a happy 2009. Here is a recent success story.



“I realize I have total control of my body. I am comfortable with my body and I can move my body in any way I want to. My interpretation of how I move my body may not be the same as that of another individual, but that doesn’t matter because as long as I am not hurting anyone, I have the freedom to do whatever I want.



This particular exercise taught me that I also have to be willing to listen to authority and do as they advise in order to be able to continue to move life forward sober.”



It is simple wins like this that add up to the big win of a happy, drug free and successful life.



Whether it is heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine or pot abuse, the Narconon program continues pouring out the holiday cheer for the addicts, families and anyone else who wants to share in these successes. 877-413-3073

Party Drinking

A research project was conducted by Harris Interactive to study the impact of holiday party drinking by surveying 1,973 adults.

Though it took a survey to get percentages, it is of no surprise that the attendees of holiday parties reported the development of alcohol related embarrassing and damaging situations. These alcohol driven incidents included flirting amongst employees, use of profanity, arguing and drunken driving.

Though interesting, this is a short look at a big problem that manifests to the public over the holidays, but lurks more quietly throughout the year within families who have a problem drinker.

Drinking, happiness, remorse, eating – there is more of everything during the holidays- but for some there is too much throughout the whole year. These are the people who need help.

Doing a study and finding out that people are drinking too much over the holidays is easy. The hard part is coming up with an actual solution for the problem drinkers and their families. We may be annoyed at the party, but the family has to tolerate it all year.

Perhaps we are becoming too apathetic to suggest a study that looks for real solutions or to feel emboldened enough to say that possibly there are solutions.

Though nothing is 100%, the stats of Narconon treatment are very good – in fact 76% success rate.

Studies are good, but the rubber meets the road with effective drug and alcohol treatment.

Narconon is a good way to go.

Favorite Season

SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT



Here is a success story today from one of our Narconon student, currently on the program.



“When I was using I never noticed the details or what others needed from me and I constantly disobeyed rules and regulations as well as disregarded anything but the drugs. I lost myself and everything I had. Now I see that by following simple rules, having respect for myself and others, being more perceptive and more detail oriented, I can have everything if I simply maintain my sobriety and the success I am making every minute of the day.



When noticing the sunset reflecting off the fall leaves, which is my favorite season, I saw the beauty in the sunset. For so long while I used I never paid attention to the beauty of mother- nature and never appreciated anything. Now that I am seeing these things I see that I didn’t believe in my heart I deserved it. But I do and I see that. I deserve everything I have wanted and want back.”



You can have wins like these too. Narconon helps those with heroin, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana prescription medication and all drugs of abuse.

I'm a people pleaser

Here is one of the many success stories of the day picked randomly from the Narconon drug treatment students.



“I have worked halfway through this course and I have had multiple people helping me. Before I got here I was a people pleaser and went along with the flow no matter what. I did what I could to keep the peace with anyone. I just wanted everything to be alright with my friends, my enemies and strangers. I would use and use and use and sacrifice myself to keep everyone else happy. After being here for a month I have grown a backbone and stand up for myself.



I have realized that I need to make myself happy first and then let that spread to others and work on the next. I keep myself first now and that feels great.



Today my twin was having a hard time and I was able to help him by putting myself first. I did not even do it selfishly.



I get an amazing feeling helping others by helping myself. I am so thankful for the people here and what I’ve learned to utilize. It is an amazing feeling that I haven’t felt in a long time.”



Whether it is cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or pot Narconon can help.

Underage Drinking

A DENT IN UNDERAGE DRINKING

Recently a restaurant in Georgia lost its liquor license because it had been serving minors. Pictures of the minors drinking were on My Space and the restaurant got caught.

If the owners of the restaurants understood how underage drinking can ruin lives, they would have stopped selling to these minors. (Unless they are sadistic).

The statistics for heavy underage drinkers are not good. They are more likely to drop out of school and have low end jobs. Their lives just don’t turn out well.

American kids start abusing alcohol at an earlier age than their European counterparts and there is a reason. That reason is the adults.

If enough adults just say NO to participating in underage drinking the statistics will reverse.

Narconon provides drug prevention.

We also have affordable drug rehab. 877-413-3073

Attitude Adjustment

SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT





This is really the week of successes! Here again today is another success story from a Narconon student who is in drug treatment. No matter what is going on, I know that I can arrive to Narconon and hear the wins from the students who are turning their lives around.



“I’ve just realized the amazing attitude change in me towards females. When I first came in here I hated every girl that came in my path, but over this period of time here there has been a drastic change in my mentality and I have now made a few friendships that I hold close to my heart. My stubborn ways subsided and the opportunities of growth prospered.



I am also aware now that my family loves me for me and by seeing me go through thick and thin they ignored me while I was using and backed off so they wouldn’t get to know the me I was while using. They have watched me change now and our relationships can flourish.”



Sadly, quite often, addiction ruins relationships. But any relationship can be repaired, using the right tools.

Obligations

NARCONON SUCCESS



Today many students are reporting success and here is another one. Regardless of what is going on in the world with the economy and the stress of the holiday season coming on, we always have joy to report from Narconon of Georgia.



“Dealing with my father situation again, I thought it was going to be hard. I’ve come to terms with it. I have realized that I have the willingness to change myself to make a situation feasible so I can make the best out of it and add wisdom to my life. Since part one of the course, I have noticed I am very good at starting something in my life and I’m willing to change more than ever before.



While I was using, I would make obligations but change and never fulfill them. That’s not the case anymore. I’ve also always been a functioning addict and no matter what I did, I did it well. My job became a huge increasing factor to my drug use and I couldn’t’ force myself to quit, even though I knew it was not OK for me. It was like I was attached. I was forced to quit. When I came to rehab and it was the best change ever and I see that now and I won’t ever put myself in that situation again.”



These are the kinds of wins that anyone can have at Narconon of Georgia. Methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, heroin or other drugs – the help is here at the New Life program. 877-413-3073

Baby Steps

Success Story from a Narconon Student



Today I had the privilege of having someone present this success story.



“During my using years the changes in my life were not okay, they were negative. Now that I’ve found a good change I can stop my addiction and maintain sobriety. I see that during my using years I often jumped too far ahead, gave myself too steep of a gradient or jumped to conclusions. I never stepped back and dealt with things or tried to fix what I was losing grasp of. Because of this, I lost everything. I also see that I always thought my life was full of these huge problems. Instead of changing these issues or elements in my life they started and I never changed them. Because of this I had no control- there was not a start, change or stop so everything slowly but surely slipped away. Seeing the different sized objects I see now that no matter how big the problems in my life were, I solved them the same; I used. I never changed anything because I just didn’t care



Baby steps are what works for me changing the elements in my life, little by little the tons of small problems can be solved and a big picture can be clear. I’ve learned that it’s important to do this because otherwise I’ll always think of my addiction.



Since starting this course my awareness to the fact change is important and okay and necessary to grow.



I see how important it is to my addiction so no that I maintain sobriety I can change the factors that were not okay and I’ll be able to accept the change.”



Anyone with a problem methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, oxycontin or any drug can make a change for the better in their life with the Narconon New Life Program. 877 413-3073

Rehab vs. Incarceration

REHAB VERSUS INCARCERATION



This recent study confirms what those of us who have worked in rehab already knew – Rehab does make a difference and is a viable alternative to incarceration. It is a better alternative for the addict, family and society.



Drug addicts already have a lowered sense of self esteem. Their addiction has driven them to do things that they would not ordinarily do and they feel ashamed. Jail just confirms what they are already starting to believe – that they are no good and there is no hope.



Drug treatment, on the other hand and at the very least, provides a caring atmosphere from which a person can get clean and examine who they really are. Upon examination, most individuals learn that they are basically good people who simply took a wrong turn. From this viewpoint it is easy to decide to learn from rehab and take a new direction in life.



Locking someone up confirms that notion that one is no good. It is not wonder that crime rates are higher when drug addicts are locked up.



Narconon is a good alternative to incarceration and in fact, this Narconon was started as an alternative to incarceration. The first 20 Narconon of Georgia clients came directly from jail as part of a pilot to determine the feasibility of rehab vs. incarceration.



Whether it is crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana oxycontin or any other drug, the results are the same. Most people can either be fully rehabilitated from addiction or they can be pushed further into the mud and their lives totally ruined.



It is up to us to say which that will be.

Family relationships

Here is a success story from a Narconon student today: I have had another day of getting to witness great wins from our students.





NARCONON STUDENT SUCCESS STORY

“I started to come out of my shell a bit and not let people run over me. On this course I am learning to use my judgment, just as I am going to have to filter things in life and decide which things to stop or not.



I thought about my mom while doing this. I tried to be upbeat and reassure her that everything was going okay for me and then I realized that it is not about me – it is about her.



I realized that I can shift away from this and it is my decision whether or not I am going to let her actions affect me. I can also separate myself from her actions which are not helpful to me.”



Often family relations become strained because of addiction and sometimes it is strained family relations that contribute to addiction.



Regardless of which it is, family is always involved in addiction. The Narconon program helps addicts take responsibility for their family as well as themselves.



The Narconon program involves all facets of life in treatment.

Parents Beware

PARENTS TAKE ACTION



Who would have thought that we would ever see the day that parents would feel the need to hire police dogs to see if their kids have drugs. It seems far-fetched, but it is happening and the reasons are easily understood.



Drug tests can be fooled which can be extremely dangerous. A parent may be content thinking that their teen is not taking drugs, when the actual fact is that the teen is faking the test results. There was a recent report of an overdose when a family thought their son had stopped using opiates because he had a clean drug test. The truth was that he was cheating the test and overdosed and died. He had been using drugs in their presence, but they were looking at the tests, not him.



Additionally, with all the peer pressure and MTV, it is almost impossible for a teen to escape the opportunity to use drugs. Some of them may simply be using drugs because their friends are and inadvertently become addicted through the social drug use. Then the real problems for the family of theft, possible jail time and death begin. A police dog might be a welcome relief – a good excuse to tell the friends why drugs cannot be around.



Another solution is for parents to learn the signs of abuse of the major drugs – methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates. They all have their own signs and one can tell by observing if they are in the midst of a drug abuser.



However they do it parents have to know if their child is on drugs. Failing to find out can be fatal.



Narconon will provide free brochures to families who want to know the signs of drug abuse. We also provide effective drug treatment – 76% success rate.

Change

OBJECTIVES SUCCESS FROM A NARCONON STUDENT



I realized today that when things change a whole new aspect is added to you life – brightness is brought in. Change is good and the ability to stop is good because it shows progress in life and overcoming the uncomfortable and misunderstood rather than hiding it with drugs. This course makes me realize a log about my life and the things that fell apart. My addiction is a prime example. I started using, changed my addiction to heavy drugs and never could stop and it buried the opportunities because my addiction had no control. I then became blurry minded and couldn’t change.



The difference now is that I’m aware of my addiction and I’m making a change to open the opportunities that my life has waiting for me- the ones that addiction did not let me see.

Today is Election Day

ELECTION DAY



All of us in the field of drug and alcohol drug treatment hope that our newly elected officials come to realize that their policies can definitely have an impact on the lives of many when it comes to drug treatment versus incarceration.



However, no matter who is elected, the real drug policy is written at home and is enforced by parents.



Research shows that many kids attend drug infested schools and most are likely to have been exposed to illegal drugs and drinking. Research also finds that kids listen to their parents when it comes to drugs and are less likely to use drugs if they think their parents would object.



The point is, if your kids don’t do ever abuse drugs then whatever national strategy is developed will not involve you or your family.



After all, isn’t there enough government already?



If someone you know has already started abusing drugs, then call Narconon 877-413-3073.
