"B efore starting Objectives, I wasn’t sure what to expect or how they worked. All I was told is this part of the program was to clear your mind. Since I was a very private and withheld communication even as realizations came to me, I informed the staff I wasn’t comfortable to share. I had many trust issues and didn’t feel safe sharing things extremely personal with someone I looked at as a stranger. Yet, I was only hindering myself by doing this. Keeping things in was causing so much pain. “After talking with the staff, I decided to listen and not hold back on any of my objectives. I opened up completely with my Objectives partner and really took in what I was gaining from each Objective I completed. “I learned a lot about pin pointing my emotions and handling them in a healthy way as they come to you instead of suppressing them. I have gained so much confidence and control in my life. I feel calmer, clearer, and now capable of addressing all situations pertaining to my past, present, and future. “I feel Objectives has given me the strength I lacked, the clarity I missed, and the confidence I need to address my life effectively. From this point forward, and for once I have a new-found hope and excitement on what is to come.”—Narconon Student Read More

“Secrets Will Help Nobody”: My Daughter’s Story of Addiction My 20-year-old daughter Casey died of an accidental heroin overdose on January 15, 2017. She told me that if something were ever to happen to her, she’d want me to write an honest obituary about her struggles with addiction. “Tell them my story,” she said. “Secrets will help nobody. I would want to help someone else, to make them feel less alone — even if it’s just one person.” The struggle with Casey's addiction affected myself, my husband and my son so deeply. That January, she was really excited for a fresh start, heading to a new rehabilitation center. Unfortunately, she overdosed the night before, next to her packed suitcase. I wrote her honest obituary, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it went viral and ended up affecting hundreds of people all over the world. Casey will always be special to me, but was she any more special than the other tens of thousands of people who died last year of an overdose? There are tragic stories everywhere, and I thought, “How can I inspire them? How can I give them hope? And I realized they inspired me.” I sat down to tell Casey’s story and talk about what she and so many others go through, and how where there’s breath, there’s hope: Watch Video
