Doing The Right Thing Key Component To Handling Addiction

Morality is a subject which has ceased to be taught in U.S schools.  Few parents also endeavor to teach morality at home. The result can be seen at every turn with a rising criminal population and 23 million Americans in need of drug rehabilitation according to the White House Office of Drug Control Policy.

 

Narconon a non-profit organization that handles drug and alcohol addiction through successful rehabilitation includes universal moral principles as part of it's overall drug rehabilitation program. They have observed the obvious need for morals among rehabilitating addicts. Most people who have become addicted to drugs were never taught basic moral principles so they really understood them.

 

One of the principles Narconon teaches is "Don't do anything Illegal".  This may seem blatantly obvious to some, however, as one looks around and even at one's own life one can see there may be times one has done illegal things. The truth is theses tend to accumulate and eventually, if one doesn't otherwise correct them, could cause one to fail in life. 

 

The book containing this common sense moral principle and 20 others used on the Narconon program is The Way to Happiness. This book has been published in over 90 languages and 70 million copies have been distributed. Its author, America humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, wrote it in the 1981 after witnessing the intense moral decline of the society in the 1970s. This moral code is brilliantly written in that it applies to all races and religions as its principles are entirely based on common sense and are not religious.  In fact, 130 nations have accepted it and it has been commended by 2 U.S Presidents, Congressmen, governors and various governments.

 

Incorporating such fundamental moral principles into the Narconon drug rehabilitation program points former addicts into the direction of being able to lead truly successful drug-free lives.

 

Life as an addict is anything but moral. Lying, cheating, promiscuity and illegal acts are part and parcel to addiction.  When one is addicted the drug cravings can be so intense as one's very survival itself seems dependant on obtaining and taking drugs, at whatever cost.  With such intense physical desire driving one, an addict is liable to do anything to relieve the negative sensations.

 

As the Narconon program addresses both the physical and mental aspect of cravings and drug addiction, the former addict can now in an uninfluenced manner study The Way to Happiness and benefit from it. There is even a prerequisite course on the Narconon program that teaches the addict how to study to ensure he does duplicate the material.

 

The Way to Happiness has also recently been released as a full length film on DVD bringing the written principles into movie format. By Narconon using The Way to Happiness former addicts are given every chance to live successful drug free lives.
