Narconon Works!

T’s Story Part Two

             This is the second chapter in a story about Narconon and one of its successful graduates. The names have been changed or not included to protect identities.

           When T was in the military he met a girl who was really wild and that he liked a lot. One weekend he decided to take her Vegas with some of the money that he had made selling cocaine to the biker gang. They partied a lot while they were in Vegas and T ended up getting arrested. He contacted the military from jail and they bailed him out and took him back to the base. The military had been trying to build a pretty major case against him for his dealings with the biker gang, but did not have sufficient evidence against him to do so at the time of his arrest in Vegas.

  Positive Drug Test Leads to Jail

According to T, the military hoped that when he got out of jail in Nevada and returned home, he would start up his old antics of dealing coke again. They wanted him to do this so that they could watch him with more scrutiny and hopefully come up with serious evidence against him for the case they were building. T says he knew that the military was on to him and from that point forward he did not participate in any more illegal sales of cocaine. At one point, frustrated the military did do a urine drug test, which T tested positive for cocaine on. At this point the military arrested him for his dirty urine and gave him a year in jail which he served ten months of.

      When T got out, he decided to move back his home town. He got a job with one of his brothers working as an electrician. At one point, he joined the union and started making some very good money working union electrical jobs on the subways and such. One day he met a really nice girl. She was everything good a girl could be: smart, pretty, sweet, funny, and knew nothing of doing drugs. They started dating and pretty soon their relationship got serious. T would still use drugs and disappear on benders on the weekends, but his girlfriend knew nothing of that.

 Marriage

Eventually they got engaged and got married. They both had very good paying jobs and bought a beautiful house together in a nice part of town. During this time T used very little, he would drink but not use cocaine very much. It was normal and socially acceptable for members of his family to drink and get drunk and T would do this often. He did not want his wife to find out about the cocaine use so after he was married so he just pretty much stayed away from it.

     Then his wisdom teeth started to bother him.

 Prescription Drug Abuse

     He went to the dentist to get them pulled out and after the operation he was given a prescription for narcotic pain medication. He immediately got addicted to it. When he ran out of his original prescription he went and found a dirty sports doctor that supplied him with more prescriptions for the pain medication. He took the narcotics regularly and depended on them to get through his day. His wife did not find out for a while.

      However, on day she did discover a bottle of his pain medicine and she got really upset. This was some time after his wisdom teeth had been pulled out, and she knew that there really was no reason for him to be taking them so long after his surgery. T and his wife got into a very large disagreement over his pills and she ended up throwing them out.

 Heroin Addiction

    T was very upset and called one of his brothers who he knew did drugs. He explained the whole situation to him and the brother told him he had him covered. His brother used heroin and brought T a bag of it. T loved it and started using it all the time. Within three months of him using his first dose of heroin, he started shooting it. He then began to shoot heroin and cocaine together. He very quickly lost all that was important in his life. He lost his wife, his house and spent all of his money. Before long he ended up living in a junk yard outside of his drug dealer’s house. He went from living in one of the nicer areas of town in a beautiful home to living as a homeless junkie in a junk yard within three months. He started robbing people and stealing things out of cars to pay for his habit. Before long the whole lifestyle got to be too much for him.

 First Drug Rehab

     He called another one of his brothers, this time to help him get off of drugs. The brother picked him up and took him to a state funded hardcore rehab. He was there for eight months before he graduated.

 Narconon Drug Treatment

     When he graduated the center provided him transportation back into the city. He had no money and trash bag full of clothes to his name. The first thing he did when he got dropped off was to call his drug dealer. Luckily his drug dealer did not answer the phone. T then called another brother would had gone rehab called Narconon in Canada. He explained how the situation and asked his brother what he thought he should do. His brother told him to come to Canada and go to Narconon.

     T did go to Narconon in Canada ten years ago. He said when he graduated from the original rehab he had not been given any tools with which to live life in a drug free manner. He said he learned all the tools he needed to do just that at Narconon. He works for Narconon and is now married with two little boys. Even when unfortunate things happen in his life, as does happen some times, he says he knows how to handle it. He is helping teach others about Narconon and helping them overcome their addictions and is finally happy within in himself.
