Narconon is a non-profit drug rehabilitation and education organization. The Narconon drug rehabilitation program delivered is a multi-faceted proven approach to rehabilitating drug addicts into successful, productive, functioning citizens. Part of that success is a book included in the program called The Way to Happiness.
The Way to Happiness was written in 1981 by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard and has been implemented in schools, businesses and community groups worldwide with over 70 million copies distributed in 90 languages. Students on the Narconon program study this book and learn moral precepts that have been neglected or altogether omitted in their lives.
One of the precepts is "Seek to Live with the Truth." Learning this precept and the real reasons behind it are explained in the easily understood text. The life of a drug addict is anything but truthful. Lying is chronic for many reasons. Hiding ones addiction from friends and family is usually an initial reason for lying. As addiction takes hold, the fact of physical drug cravings can become so intense that lying appears to become the only answer to obtain more of the drug. This could be lying as to ones whereabouts to family or an employer or lying to cover up stealing or other dishonest acts to acquire the drug.
In this light, seeking to live with the truth may be a whole new concept to some. As one goes through the Narconon program, the student is rehabilitated physically and mentally. When they get to The Way to Happiness step, they are at a point to make a fresh clean start in life. Through other steps on the program the student has gotten a chance to examine and evaluate his own life and behavior and is now given the moral guidelines to succeed in life.
The Narconon program provides a full address to an addict’s lifestyle and in this wise Narconon achieves an over 70% success rate in permanent recovery from drug addiction. The Way to Happiness is an essential part of that success for it points the way to a bright new future for the former addict.
