"Before I came I was taking drugs and eating lots of painkillers. . . .

"I thought my life was great but I was bothered by the fact I had such a hard time working or going to school.

"I had absolutely no motivation to do those things because I felt I would just disappoint my self in the end.

"I came to Narconon, with some hope for direction and piece of mind. I got more than that - I got myself back.

"I got that freeness back that I felt as a little girl. I am so happy, clear and so charged up I can hardly explain in words the way I feel. I had been on drugs and alcohol for 10 years and my major addiction was to painkillers for a straight 8 years.

"I never realized how bad I was until I went through withdraw. I wanted pills so bad but, when I completed the Narconon Detox, all my cravings were gone.

"Energy was back and my head got so clear I could sit and concentrate on a book for hours. I thought that was great and that's all I needed but what I studied and learned after the sauna is what brought the 'old me' back.

"What Narconon has taught me can not be replaced.

"I am in complete control of myself and what I do. I feel like I am ready for whatever obstacle or objective comes my way. I owe it all to the staff at Narconon, my mom and sister for asking me to come.

"But most of all I owe it to myself." -- N.C. Narconon Graduate


"March 27/01 I arrived at Narconon. That was 2 years ago.

"I was using cocaine on a daily basis. I also used Heroin. I was an addict for 5-6 years. I had gone to a place in the States and had tried to get off drugs once before. I was clean for about 7 - 8 months. I got back to using and it was worse the 2nd time around.

"I was approached by my sister in-law and she told me that Narconon would be a very good place for me to go. I heard about the success rate at Narconon so I decided to give it a try.

"I was in a very abusive 8 year relationship. I was totally dependent on my partner who was also using at the time.

"After coming to Narconon, I started to see the person I once used to be before I started using.

"I graduated from the program in 2 months. I not only graduated and was clean, I also decided to stay and help out others for another 4 months.

"I always thought one day I would marry the man I stayed with for 8 years. My biggest accomplishment was getting out of my relationship. I did and I haven't seen him for almost 2 years now.

"I got a new job 2 months after I came back . . . I now manage this business.

"I have the best relationship with my 2 beautiful kids. I was able to be there for my daughter to buy her a Graduation Dress which meant so much for her. I have the most incredible relationship with my family. I have my life back again.

"I would like to thank the most wonderful staff at Narconon Montreal, without them none of this would be possible. I would also have to say my family really helped, especially one particular person who is very close to me now. Thanks Narconon for my life back." - D.P. Narconon Graduate.
