Narconon Drug Rehab Celebrates Gratuation

Narconon is celebrating its graduates

Nicole arrived at Narconon after being confronted by her family about her drug use.  While having a strong family does not by any means save a person from drug addiction, In Nicole’s case her family helped save her life.
 
Nicole didn’t grow up around drugs, her parents were supportive and she had a happy childhood.  This is perhaps   more common than one would imagine.  There are many reasons people become drug addicts.  While at
Narconon Nicole believes she has found hers.  
“I was 17 years old when I started snorting cocaine.  I was hanging around other kids who were using and I felt the pressure to do so as well.”
This does not mean that Nicole believes others were the cause of her problems.  Narconon teaches students to take responsibility for their own conditions.  
“I was able to notice life around me.  Book 5, Up’s and Down’s in Life Course, helped me realize who I am.  I was taken from an introverted state where drug use had taken me, to an extroverted state.  I have learned what people are good for me and those who are bad.”
When asked how her life was now Nicole says,
“I feel better than I have even since before I started using drugs.  I love life now.  Life is how I always pictured it was supposed to be----perfect.  I have begun the rebuilding of trust in a relationship with my parents; I am being reunited with my sister after 16 years; and my personal relationship is growing.”

Nicole wants to share her success with others and believes that Narconon can change lives.
“Narconon was the first decision that I had on my own to start and complete something.  I want others to want the same thing.  You have to be ready for the change.  It’s not easy but, coming to drug rehab will change your life-it changed mine.”
