I   am now at the long roads end, wrapping up my program at Narconon Louisiana. The road goes ever onward however, and I must now apply all that I have learned. I have restored my body to a clean and healthy one. I have gained patience, a higher level of awareness and the ability to be in present time.
Now I have finished the Life Skills portion of the program.



I have handled the people in my life and have disconnected from others who bring me down. I have put down, in black and white, my past transgressions thus relieving a great weight from my shoulders and restoring my personal responsibility. I am working my conditions to move into a better condition in my life. I have also created a battle plan concerning my future so I stay productive and sober. I now feel helpful and hopeful of the future.

Finding The Music

The journey back from drug addiction is different for each of us.  No matter where we come from or how our addiction affected us we can all learn from each other.

 Life before Narconon was pretty much a big game to me, just not a survival one.  Life got to the point that I started to get amused by pain and I didn’t even care about anything anymore

My Experience in a 12-Step Cult | The Fix

My Experience in a 12-Step Cult | The Fix: As part of my therapy I had to cut contact with my family and tell my professors I was recovering from sexual abuse. It was excruciating, but I wanted to do the 'hard work' of recovery.

The Eternal Holiday of the Alcoholic | The Fix

The Eternal Holiday of the Alcoholic | The Fix: When you drink constantly, you become numb, slipping down into a sub-life, a waking coma. You become a chaotic ghost that exists almost at one step removed from everything else.

Joan Jett's Bad Reputation | The Fix: “I’ve been hurt,” says Jett. “I’ve had my head split open by a beer bottle, a rib cracked by getting a battery thrown at me—this big metal rig thing….just because I was a girl, I’d get spit on.”

October 4 2018 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth From Scripture

Romans Chapter 13 verse 12
The night is almost gone , the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes put on the shiny armor of right living.
(GODS BIG BOOK)
Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. (Lamentations 3:40 "let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD.") (GODS BIG BOOK)


Whether you want to accept it or not ,time is going to run out for you as it will for everyone of us. Life is what you put in another words if your life is full of wrong living you are going to self medicate to try and numb and deal with the consequences of your actions. Another words you feel the way you do because of the dark deeds you have built your life around and the icing on your crap cake is you will face judgement when this life ends. Most wait until its too late and they are standing before their Creator. Like looking in a mirror your heart will reflect the person you truly are and if you dont like who you are there is hope because you still have breath. Do exactly what the Scripture verse is telling you. Start small trying to do a 360 in life could overwhelm and crush your efforts. I try to do life one moment at a time ! Be slow and deliberate in making choices and anything you feel is wrong and shouldn't be doing that is your God given Moral compass nudging you to go in a different direction with your life. Follow it and try and do the next right thing in every moment and choice you face in life.God and His Son Jesus Christ have sent us a helper the holy spirit who is available 24/7 so before every decision in your heart and head discuss your options and put of the wrong choices and dark deeds of doing the wrong thing and let the Holy Spirit lead you in doing the next right thing. Shiny armor of right living is joy and peace and feeling good about your self not having to self medicate and hide behind masks to keep others from seeing the person you just cant stand. Free yourself from the negativity and live the life God has detailed for you in his Big Book.
