"F or years, I had been anything and everything but successful. I’d always turned to drugs to deal with whatever problem I’d run into in life. Drugs were my go-to for everything I faced. About the only thing I succeeded at was becoming a drug addict, starting at the age of twelve and continuing every day until I started this program at age thirty-four. “The New Life Detoxification part of the program wasn’t exactly easy, but I began to see why I’d been like this. I put drugs into my body for twenty-two years, robbing from the bank of pleasure for a long time. The New Life Detoxification helped me put deposits back into that overdrawn bank, which was major for me. “I can say this now because I can go to bed easily; I wake up happy and have energy like when I was a kid! My thoughts are no longer clouded from the drugs, I can think much more easily, and I do not feel mentally sluggish. To be able to have control of my mind and body again is a huge win in my book. I feel like I’ve been born again. “The New Life Detoxification step gave me a second chance at my own life. I no longer need drugs in my body to wake up, be happy, or go to bed. For once, I can sit still, talk to people and be happy. I am not on drugs anymore. This step gave me my mind back. “I can tell you this part of the program got me back on track. Trust me when I say if you do this, and push through, you will see the greatness of LIFE at the end of the New Life Detoxification step. I promise you this.” —M.K., Narconon student   Read More
