Looking toward the future
Narconon of Georgia
The Narconon program believes that addiction can be conquered by concentrating on the abilities that an individual has. Here is a success story from students who are beginning to realize that they really do have what it takes to conquer addiction.
“During this session and every session I realize that I’m changing in a good way. I am not only changing mentally, but physically. I lost 20 pounds since I’ve been here. I watch what I eat, because I’m feeling good, due to not drinking, eating healthy and thinking positively.
That’s another change that I notice – not only am I thinking about my health, but also my future. And I know if it were not for the help I’m receiving here, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”

“During today’s exercise, I had some mixed feelings at first. I started thinking about my brother-in – law. He was my in-house bully. He demanded respect and was always shooting orders. I was scared of him, because he is ten years older than me and eared by some. I took all his punishment. One day I blew up and felt like I could have killed him.
If I could go back, I would have communicated and told him about how I felt. Instead, I used violence and that because the cycle after that. But, that’s the past and this is me now. I thank the staff for that.”

“Today in session, I had some pretty good realizations. Recently I have been realizing how much there is to change- because the fact of the matter is that I am still young, with many years ahead of me.
I messed up in the past. I lost good jobs, my friends and my wife. But I didn’t lose my health or my mind. I feel good about where I am right now. I look forward the future when I know I will have a house, a family and kids, instead of dying young.
I am happy to be here and I am looking forward to tomorrow.”
