Narconon Success

Narconon success

Today at Narconon as I was completing the Objectives Course, I realized that I have really learned a lot!.  I realize that I have to find happiness within myself.   Even when sometime the everyday routines can seem dull and boring, I can find joy in the small things.  Each new day can bring a new “adventure”!

It is the small simple things that really count, like getting my kids up and ready for school, kissing them goodbye, being there when they get home and helping them with their homework.  These are all things that are routine but that I enjoy tremendously!  WE always make a game out of things and it’s always the same, but with differences too!  I now I know, that these are really the things that bring true happiness to me.

If I make all the other moments in my life like a new unit of time, even if it is a routine, then I will continue to have that happiness and always appreciate each new day exactly for what it is – a new day!  For example, I have been at Narconon for a while, but I have learned to find the joy in something new each day.  If I think I am having a bad day, but I look for joy in something, it always brightens up my day!  I have to continue doing this with my life outside of here.  As long as I find happiness in the things that matter, then I won’t seek that out in drugs.  There is no joy in using drugs.  It is just an illusion.  The truth is when I come down, the bad stuff is still there and most of the time it is a lot worse and that just makes me feel worse.

So through the Narconon Program I have learned that as long as I try to see something that is routine as if it is something new each time, then I won’t be bored and think I need to seek happiness elsewhere.  I also know that the way I see things may not be the same as other see them, but that is OK.  As long as I believe in myself, then it will be fine.  I am entitled to my own opinion and way of life and I can‘t fall under the pressure of others if they don’t see understand the same as I.

When I was using drugs all things seemed to run together.  At some point, I was so traumatized by my addiction that surreal and the real became one and the same.  I couldn’t distinguish the normal from the outrageous anymore.  I was so good at rationalizing and denying that I couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began.

Thanks to Narconon I can now see things for what they really are and I never want to lose that sight again!  This is the sight that will keep me sober and keep me able to see the real joy of life and the things that really matter.
