Narconon Drug Rehab Graduate Speaks Out
Graduate Amazes All at Narconon Day Reunion
DJ is a Narconon drug rehab graduate with 2 years sobriety. DJ used to have a methamphetamine problem. A big one. Yet despite popular opinion that meth is the hardest drug to quit and stay clean, DJ speaks out about his problem and how he solved it:
“I had used cocaine and marijuana when I was younger, but from the time I was 25 in 2001 until I went to Narconon in 2005 I had a strong methamphetamine addiction. I was introduced to it through a girlfriend. When I first got introduced to it I used it every day for a couple of months, because it seemed like the thing to do and I thought it was giving me a lot of energy. I did not know I was addicted until I tried to stop using it and I couldn’t.
“I was arrested for trafficking because I was in a house where there was a large quantity of methamphetamine and I went to jail. Eventually my attorney proved that at the time the drug was not in my possession; however, that was a rough experience. It was the first time I really realized that I did not have control over the drug.
“I tried to quit after I got out of jail. I was clean for 30 days and once even for 60 days, but had no energy and felt foggy. I started using again because I did not know when I would feel better and I saw no way out. I was really tired. I felt worthless and did not want to get out of bed. I only wanted to eat and sleep.
“Before I started using meth I was not that way – I was working in the automotive industry and had show cars that were noted in national magazines. I was gaining notoriety for my cars. I was able to stay up all night and build cars without methamphetamine, but once I started using it, I did not know how to function without it. While doing the drugs, I was always on the hunt to find more. So my 'energy' was consumed in the cycle of doing drugs and finding drugs.
“After completing my Narconon drug rehab program, I returned home. I work for a family business. I have helped my family open two more dealerships. I built another show car and I won a national title with it. This has all happened in the short amount of time since I have been home. My parents are so much more at peace now knowing that I'm my old self again and I'm safe.
“The results of Narconon tell the story. Narconon is the place to go because it works.”
