OXYCONTIN
http://www.thenewstribune.com/front/topstories/story/599029.html
At Narconon we frequently meet individuals who are addicted to Oxycontin. This drug can affect anyone from any strata of life. There are stories of people who took Oxycontin for a simple sports injury or after a surgery and became hopelessly addicted. Some got it from a friend just for fun, but were addicted after that first pill.
Oxycontin can take a person from the path of a normal life to another path – one that is ruthlessly led by addiction.
It is unfortunate that this drug was ever created - but it was and many good people are addicted. The recent criminal conviction of key executives of Purdue pharmaceutical does not seem to have stopped or slowed down the number of persons that we speak to that are addicted to Oxycontin.
It is going to take the friends and families and effective drug treatment to do something effective about Oxycontin. We have to roll our sleeves up and one by one, get these people some help.
At Narconon we have helped many overcome their Oxycontin addiction and they are now living a drug free and happy life. 877-413-3073

Prescription Medication
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
If you work in the field of drug treatment long enough, you come to realize that the problem of drug addiction and abuse goes far beyond illegal drug abuse. It includes prescription drug abuse and sometimes just prescription drug use – just as it is prescribed.
Recently drug manufacturer, Eli Lilly, settled $1.42 billion in a Zyprexa suit.
The company pled guilty to criminal conduct for pushing lethal psychiatric drugs on children and elderly. The company paid the largest fine in Department of Justice history.
The video below explains.

Whether it’s abuse of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, pot or prescription medication such as Oxycontin or Xanax – Narconon is the New Life Program for all who reach for it.

Ruining my life
NARCONON SUCCESS
I have realized that I enjoy an endless amount of freedom. I am seeing through, that it can get me in trouble. Today I was tossing a bottle up and then catching it. The last time I did it, I missed the catch and the bottle fell to the floor and smashed. This happened even though I had dropped it several times before without it breaking. This relates to my drug use because I have been caught several times using or having drugs, yet, I still used drugs. It seems to me that I like to push things to the limit even though I knew the consequences. I am the type who likes to experience things on my own, first hand. With my drug use, I was told what was going to happen, but I still had to experience it myself.
When I broke the bottle, I saw what my drug use had done to my life and how it destroyed my body, friendships and relationships with my family.
The difference between the bottle and my life is that I know that I can repair all of the negative that I have caused. Secondly, I realized that by choosing to come to rehab I have chosen to get rid of my addiction
I see more clearly now that the mind crushing and body destroying addiction that I let rule my life for so long is never going to enter my life again.
The teachings here have shown me that it I hold full intention that I am going to keep my sobriety forever!
This is just a sample of a daily win from someone who came to us abusing heroin. Whatever drug a person has been abusing - methamphetamine, cocaine, pot or oxycontin- the road from Narconon leads to the same place – to a drug free and happy life.

NARCONON SUCCESS
Here is another Narconon success story – one of many that we will have today.
“I have the ability to think my decision through before I act and to see if it’s the right or correct action to take. Most of my life I acted without weighing the consequences and I was a very non-reflective person. I could not process the thoughts to make a decision or to think things through. My whole life was act and react on first thought or impulse. Today, I don’t have to do this. I can think things though, weigh out my pros and cons and decide how I want to act or react.
I have the ability to make things easy or difficult in my life. I chose to make things difficult for myself when there was a better way to live or handle situations. I always chose the most negative or difficult way to do something.
I can choose now how easy or difficult I make things for myself.”
Anyone can learn to make better decisions. There is a New Life available for anyone. Whether they have been abusing heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine or Oxycontin a new life is waiting for them if they want it.

Risky Behaviors
This article shows that we CAN have a positive influence on our teens, despite the negative and dangerous messages that come at them everyday through the internet and television. According to this article in Join Together:
“Researchers say that half of teen MySpace sites include references to sex, drug use, or other high-risk behavior, with 41 percent of sites studied featuring drug-related information, Reuters reported Jan. 6.
In one study, researcher Dimitri Christakis of Seattle Children's Research Institute and Megan Moreno of the University of Wisconsin looked at randomly chosen profiles of 18-year-olds on the social-networking site MySpace and found that 54 percent of profiles available to the public showed information regarding high risk behavior.
The researchers sent messages to 95 adults ages 18 to 20 whose profiles showed risky behavior, warning them of the risks of sharing such information on the internet and providing a link to a website with information about sexually transmitted diseases. A second study found that many of the subjects subsequently removed references to sex and substance abuse or limited viewing privileges on their profiles.”
The good news is that some teens responded to warnings about sharing certain information on the web and removed the references to sex and substance abuse from their sites.
The point is that no one was sending these teens the positive message they needed – when they got it, there was response.
We can’t let our kids continue to play in the middle of the information highway where they can be hit from any side by deadly information without at least a few crossing guards to help them to safety.
Narconon can help with drug education. There is a lot of drug talk on the web and kids can get into trouble. We talk straight and we talk truth. 877-413-3073

“I realize when I choose people or things I like, it makes my happy. Whenever I think of anything bad, my mood drops. I don’t even have to say it out loud and the negativity has a bad effect on me. I don’t even have to say it out loud and the negativity has a bad effect on me. The same happens when I permit good things or people to remain in place. I also feel much better when I dispense with bad things or situations.
I have to make the conscious decision to have good things and people so I remain happy and sober as well as dispense with the bad to keep my sobriety and happiness also.
After naming objects that I could have I realized that certain things that I can have open doors to other wonderful things. Having this program allows me to have my sobriety and happiness. Having my education allows me to have a good career and have a successful life. Once I obtain certain larger things in my life. I also gain a plethora of other good things.

I know I have the power to do all 3 things to anything but I have to make the concsious decision to have good things and people so I remain happy and sober as well as dispense the bad to keep my soberity and happiness also.
