"Narconon has a program that works. I know. I did it. It saved my life!" - Actress, Kirstie Alley

A True Success

"This is truly a success! I am going home, being clean for 2 months. I am going home new and improved. I have a plethora of new knowledge that will keep me clean and moving forward, right down the middle of the road to happiness. My experience here at Narconon was phenomenal to say the least. I am eternally grateful for this place and for my family for getting me here. Thank you very much, to all the wonderful people here who have made this very difficult time in my life a pleasure. Many thanks to all." - KM, Narconon Graduate

I've never made a better decision

"This is the first positive thing that I've started and completed in almost ten years. I believe in the technology [of the program] and really feel that I've retained all of the information. When I got here I was 47 pounds lighter and strung out of my mind. I had no confidence in myself or any sense of pride in my self-worth. This program not only gave me my people skills back but also my life again. I've never made a better decision in my life than the one that I made to come here." - HP, Narconon Graduate

Narconon has helped me in so many ways

"When it all started I was looking at 20 to life so I have to say that Narconon has helped in so many ways. If in any way this can help others with their hope of life after drugs I want to let them know it is not easy but if you want it bad enough it can happen.

Hatred hurts no one more than he who harbors it. Bitterness is a dead end for all that follows. Rekindling the warmth in one's heart can come by simple words of encouragement. Self-esteem and pride comes out of compassion, love and friendship. Not only for one's self but for all humanity and for all living things on earth.

I want to thank Narconon for all the help and for hearing other's stories like mine. I now have a good deal in life having been able to confront my past and look toward the future.

Narconon has given me the opportunity to save my life." - DC, Narconon Graduate

My life had become hopeless

"There was a time in my life when I never thought I would be free from drugs. My life had become hopeless and I really didn't see the point of even trying. Then one day I had a glimmer of hope, I'm not quite sure what changed my mind I guess it was a moment of clarity or something. I reached out for help and I was lead to Narconon Brazil. When I arrived I wasn't sure what to think but as I progressed through the program and learned more about myself and who I wanted to be I started to really see hope for myself. Now the way I feel only being a little more than half way through the program I would not trade my "best" day on drugs for my "worst" day NOW! I don't think I can even imagine ever living the way I did back then ever again and I don't wish that pain on anybody else. I look forward to the day I can help someone else feel this way about themselves. I feel that giving back what I have learned to someone who needs it is the best way to really help myself to feel extrordinary for a long time to come." - JW, NN Brazil Student

From an Alcoholic to the Real Me

"I arrived at Narconon on May 29th, 2004 in terrible physical shape, as well as mental and emotional unrest. Due to clumsiness and too much wine I had a real close encounter with my large glass dining room table. I was in very poor health due to lack of eating and trying to recuperate from a broken femur. Moving to another state and handling a divorce was a double emotional trauma that I was trying my best to deal with.

Then I came to Narconon with the enthusiasm and the determinism to get healthy on all levels of my existence. The Narconon program was a godsend. The clarity, knowledge and skills gained here are beyond remarkable. As I begin the training program with excitement and a new life, I realized that I am so thankful for my spiritual and physical rebirth.

Someone told me that they have seen students walk in the door a mess, and now are 100% better. However I walked in the door looking like death and now I am 1000% the real me! Thank you Narconon." - DJ

I have more confidence in myself...

"I have more confidence in myself... In the beginning of the program I was faced with many obstacles. I have used [what I've learned] to overcome my allergy problems. This is a huge win. I have also been faced with an outside negative influence about wheter or not the program works. I used what I had learned and applied it to other quagmires (difficult positions) with optimum results. This proof gave me the ammo to not only attack the negative influence with an effective blow but to change their perspective using my testimony and accomplishment. I have more confidence in myself and my group at Narconon than ever before. I will continue my path of betterment along all [areas of life]." - JM, Narconon Arrowhead graduate

I am happier now than I ever have been...

"When I first got to Narconon I really didn't want to be there, but knew I should be. I had been doing some kind of drug for 27 years. I thought the only way to be happy was to alter my chemistry in my brain. To not be the real me was what I wanted and I got that through drugs.

I always thought I could quit on my own, however, I never did. After arriving at Narconon I thought all I needed was the sauna [detoxification] program. I figured after getting the cravings out of my system I could make it drug free. However, after going through the sauna program and clearing my head I knew if I really wanted to quit for life I had better finish the program. I am so glad that I did finish the progam. The books give you the knowledge and the understanding of how to stay clean. A person needs to complete the whole program to get the whole effect of this wonderful program.

I am happier now than I have ever been in my life and it is DRUG FREE. I am finally the real person I've been searching for, for years. Narconon is top notch in teaching and helping a person live a happy, healthy and drug-free life.

Thanks to everyone at Narconon Arrowhead for a brand-new wonderful life." - HV, Narconon Arrowhead Graduate

I'm Smiling, After All These Years

"All of the books in the Narconon Program have brought me to a state of happiness and I realize that I am a great and fantastic person.

Drugs and alcohol made me forget how good of a person I truly am. I am finally back to a condition of being normal and am accomplishing all the goals I have set out to do.

I can't stop smiling or being happy. It is a great feeling and I owe it all to the Narconon Program." - JS, Narconon Arrowhead Graduate

Before Narconon I was told that I did not have long to live...

"Before I came here I was told by three doctors that I did not have long to live. Narconon gave me back my life. Doing this program I have learned that I am a good person and there is more to being drug-free than just being off drugs. It's knowing yourself and who you are. It's about honesty, integrity and values that make a person happy. Narconon gave me all these things and more. It's hard to explain with words. I thank Narconon and all who made it possible for me to experience this wonderful life I now have." - JR

I have my daughter back now...

"I have spent the last 6 years in a constant state of panic and worry over my daughter's life style. She has been through treatment program after treatment program and would only manage to stay off drugs for two or three weeks and than she would fall. Night after night I would go without sleep worrying if my child was in jail or god forbid even dead.

I will never forget the day I first learned of the Narconon program. I was watching TV and the announcement came on. After hearing the testimonials from the graduates of the program a renewed feeling of hope for my daughter's sobriety came over me. I knew Tracie needed to be at Narconon and that it was her only hope. Thank god she made it into Narconon's hands. I have my daughter back now. She speaks with confidence now. We have never been able to communicate in such a meaningful way as we do now. I can honestly say that Narconon saved my baby's life and I will be thankful to Narconon for the rest of my life." - MK

I feel really good about myself today...

"I have tried other programs, but nothing came from them. They told me what I was doing wrong and more or less let me go from there. Narconon has taught me what is really needed to stay clean and sober. I now realize how just one person can affect many, many people. I feel really good about myself today and want that feeling to continue into my tomorrow's." - CM

I no longer feel any physical effects from drugs...

"I have found success in the Narconon program. I have cleaned my body of toxins from many years of drug use through completing the New life Detoxification program. This has made me feel very energetic and healthy again. I no longer feel any physical effects from drugs." - MW

They explained addiction in language that made sense...

"John is my son, and I love him very much. But up until a year ago, I thought I’d lost him forever. He had gotten addicted to cocaine, and no matter what we did, he couldn’t seem to stop. He’d become a different person, an unreliable, angry, selfish young man who didn’t seem to care how badly he hurt our family or himself. We stood by him while he went through treatment after treatment. But it seemed hopeless. He’d stay clean for a few weeks or months and then disappear. Pretty soon we’d get a call from the hospital or the police or his girlfriend, telling us that John was in trouble again. It didn’t seem like John was going to be able to stop using drugs on this side of the grave and it was tearing us apart. I’m a doctor, and I felt that if anyone should be able to help, it should have been me. But the cravings were just too strong for him to overcome. Things seemed pretty grim.

Then we heard about Narconon New Life Center. The counselors there told us that they could help me get my son back. They explained addiction to me in language that made sense. They told me that they could help, and I believed them. I decided to give it one more try and today I’m glad I did. Today I have a son again." - Dr. Lloyd Austin

What I gained is nothing short of a dream come true...

"I went into the sauna program not knowing exactly what to expect. What I gained is nothing short of a dream come true. If I left right now, today, I would have achieved a feeling that money can't buy. It is a miracle. Nothing or no one can take this from me." - RT

It's not just a drug rehab, it's a LIFE rehab...

"Coming to Narconon has totally changed my life. It has not only gotten me clean and sober, but it has changed my attitude towards life. In the past I have done actions which I would justify as being OK for the simple fact that it was convenient at the time. I took no responsibility for myself or the state of being that I was existing in. The change that occurred is phenomenal - it's not just a drug rehab, it's a life rehab." - MP

Within four days my I could see the difference in him...

"My name is Marlene. I’m the sister of someone who went through the Narconon program. We live in Surinam, South America. In October of 1996, I came with my brother to Narconon. Within four days my sister and I could see the difference in him. During the following four months, he would call home often and wrote letters in which we could read how excited he was and how grateful he was to be part of the Narconon family. I came back in March, and found a new man. I got my brother back and so much happiness that it was almost too much to comprehend ... Narconon, you are a gift from Heaven!" - MC

I no longer crave or want to use drugs any more...

"When I first came to Narconon I had a lot of doubt whether this program would help me achieve a drug-free life. Now I know Narconon is everything I could have hoped for in a rehabilitation program, and more. Not only is my body free of the drugs and toxins that once polluted it, but I no longer crave or want to use drugs any more. Thank you Narconon." - DM

I've never seen a program like this. It's amazing...

"I've never seen a program like this. It's amazing. I could feel a lot more confidence in the way I talked to others; I felt more at ease. Since then I've steadily progressed in my ability to communicate, control and confront. The book ,"The Way to Happiness" made me feel alive, like I want to help others, and be a good person. Since doing this program I realize that alcohol is a thing of the past, I will never use it again. Thanks Narconon!" - CL

The best investment we could have ever made...

"The first time I walked in the Narconon office I was desperate. My son had not spent more than a few months out of jail at any given time period for over five years and all of his incarcerations had been directly related to drug and alcohol offenses. Counseling, and even hospitalization, had not helped. You were my last hope. As I read the letters on the wall in the waiting room I remember my eyes stinging with tears. I wondered if I would ever be able to write a letter thanking Narconon for the successful treatment of my son.

That was almost two years ago and with a happy, grateful heart I am writing you and your dedicated, wonderful, committed staff to let you know that the program proved successful. The nightmare of drug and alcohol abuse is finally in the past. My son has become a happy and confident individual, with your assistance. The program established itself as the best investment we could have ever made. Would I recommend Narconon to anyone? In a heartbeat!

May God bless each and every one of you. Keep up the great work." - PN

Who said miracles can't happen...

"Hi! I'm Kim. I've just started here and everything is going great. I see a big change in myself. When I first got here I was doing horrible. I hated myself and I hated life. All I wanted to do was die. I was always depressed and what not. Like I said I've seen a change in myself. I'm more happy and not depressed that much anymore. I actually look forward to living and don't think of death anymore. I'm learning how to live with my feelings and everything else--sober. Who said miracles can't happen? Here's to the best to come and a happier life!!" - KB

Looking healthier than I have in years...

"The best thing about this program so far...definitely the way I feel. When I was looking in the mirror one day after completing the New Life Detoxification Procedure, I noticed that I was looking healthier than I had in years, literally. It was then that I realized the program was very effective. I feel that this is something anyone that has been depressed, on drugs, alcohol or for whatever reason feel they need rehabilitation or detoxification, can and will benefit from." - SS
