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

POPPY SEED DEBATE
According to the article referenced here and featured in Join Together, there is a shortage of morphine in the world and the proposed solution is to legalize the Afghan poppy supply.
Apparently, according to Gordon Smith, Canada’s former NATO ambassador, the poppy eradication program is Afghanistan is “alienating farmer and forcing them into the arms of the Taliban or drug traffickers.”
While not posed as a perfect solution it presents the possibility of more control over the opium market that is going to exist, whether we like it or not.
Controlling the opium market through determination of who the end user is going to be of the opium is an interesting solution. Perhaps, this coupled with a full scale drug prevention program in the United States (cutting down the heroin customer base) could help eliminate the large market place for heroin that the US is now.
It is known that these fields have long financed the Taliban insurgency. This is an important point, but one perhaps more out of the realm of what the average US citizen can do something about.
The fact is that innocent people are dying from heroin overdoses. Others, while still breathing are the walking dead and the poppy seeds have claimed at least a piece of their life. Let’s deal with casualties of the war here at home.
We can do something about this situation with effective drug education and drug treatment. Narconon provides both. 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.

My day
My Monday at NARCONON has been pretty good I should say. Many of our students returned from being with their families over Thanksgiving and they really did well away from the program (of course I expected that, lol). Anyway, they are all back and ready to get on with their treatment. I love seeing them so excited to get off their drugs and/or alcohol. It really makes me realize how wonderful my job truly is. It actually started snowing today while I was at work and I couldn't believe. Snow in Central Georgia?? How does that happen?? Anyway, it was a nice change from the nasty rain we have been having for the last 3 days.
