"I have stayed in a lot of places in my time but I have never been so welcomed and at ease as I was with you wonderful people. What you have done for me has changed my life. When I started your program my life was in tatters and hanging by a thread on every level from family, health, relationship and business. Since doing the program I have managed to become my old independent self again and am slowly growing confidence everyday back in the world. I have learnt more about myself and am able to apply the principles in real life. It certainly makes you look at the world through a different viewpoint.

So many of my friends and associates are astounded in the results and are starting to ask questions about how I did it. They cannot believe how a person can turn things around so well and continue to improve every day. I tell them it is through the help of the wonderful people at Narconon and Get Off Drugs Naturally.

While I was sitting here sending hero faxes to the Olympians I thought of you guys up there and started to question who the real heros are.You people are just as dedicated as the athletes and you do it under such trying circumstances for very little reward. You are not out to win gold and you do what you do with such passion because you believe in what you are doing.

I have never met a bunch of people who are so caring and had such an impact on me in my life. Thankyou."

"I am 20 years of age and I started using heavy drugs since the age of fourteen. I got to a point where I had no control over my life and nothing really mattered to me except scoring my next hit.

I tried various programmes in the past but I would only last a couple of weeks until I was back into my bad habits. I then heard about the Narconon programme, so I decided to give it a go.

The further I got through the programme the more things seemed clear to me, like I was breaking through a wall where there were was drugs and all the problems that come with it on one side and on the other was feeling good to be alive and taking responsibility for my actions.

I completed the programme around four months ago and my family and myself can't believe the changes in me now compared to when I was a drug user. I know I don't need to take drugs now to deal with any difficulties in my life or take them to feel good because it feels a lot better when you can sort out any difficulties that come into your life and to take control of it.

I would recommend the Narconon programme to anyone who wants to get off and stay off drugs, I know it works. Thanks!"

"I began experimenting with marijuana and alcohol. I left school early and went to study fashion design. I left home at 16. When I was 17, I went through a phase of smoking marijuana but decided after 6 months that it was no good for me and gave it away. I got a job doing hospitality and modeling and continued in life doing pretty well.

At 19 yrs I tried LSD and ecstasy, due to people I knew, introducing me to these drugs, I went through a phase of taking them recreationally on the weekend. I did not see them as a danger but just something to try and do.

Slowly and surely, my life was slipping away into a drug ridden maze and I didn't even realize it.

By the age of twenty-two I had been using heroin for two years and I suddenly realized I was what some people would call a junkie. I realized that throughout those two years I had not gone without it for over one month! However, it was still a regular thing and I couldn't seem to get away from it. I found it easy to stop, but staying stopped was another story.

That was it -over the next ten years I spent my life moving around the country, from state to state, job to job, back home to my family and putting myself in "positive new environments" in an effort to stop my addiction continuing on and to start a new life, but no-matter where I went, I ended up sooner than later- back on it again.

I then went through all the different rehabilitation methods available in Australia at the time, in an effort to get away from drugs and to get my life back; Methadone, Naltrexone, Twelve-step programs, Counseling, Religion- you name it- I did it. Some of these methods, more than twice. In the end, relapse after relapse, my family absolutely distraught with trying to help me, I sank even lower. I was now at the stage where I knew that nothing would ever get my life back- I didn't believe in anything or anyone, because after all, I had tried and tried and nothing had worked and I was doomed to a life of hell on earth.

I felt at this stage like I had climbed into my coffin, lying down, ready to pull my last leg in and close down the lid and I knew that this reality was really not far away at all. I had tried everything and each time gone back to drugs worse than before. The cycle was endless.

However, I was lucky enough to find out about the Narconon Program. It saved my life. I am now drug free two years later and happy, and that is amazing- I don't even think about taking drugs anymore- my life is totally different now. The Narconon Program saved my life and I am forever grateful."

From a Graduate of the New Life Detoxification Programme:

"I am now free to be me. Today I have broken the shackles of the past and have attained my new Plateau. I have reached the end phenomena at last. I have broken out of my prison and I am now feeling like a clean, free and wonderful human being."

That caption says it all for me and how I feel about this program. I now am free of the drug residues and can feel the difference. I am clearer in my thinking and my desires to achieve what is best for not only me but for anyone else that is in my life. I can never remember a time that I could say that about myself before. I am really looking forward to doing the rest of this program, in the clear knowledge I am free from the influences that drugs had over me. I am also well aware of the aspects of my past that drove me to using drugs in t he first place and am able to progress towards being totally able to deal with them. I know that the "New life Detoxification Program" and sauna aspect is extremely important to clearing the body and to clearing the mind as well. I want all people to know that this is for real and it does actually change the way a person thinks about themselves and drugs. I only have praise for this program because this is the first time that I can say that I feel completely positive and successful about who I am and also my future."

A letter from a Mother of one the students: 

" TO THE PARENTS AND FAMILIES OF DRUG USERS.

Drugs don't just affect the lives of the drug taker, but every one connected to them. We suffer in different ways, but every bit as much.

I watched in pain and powerless despair, as my once beautiful, sensitive, intelligent daughter turned into a desperate, emaciated drug-wreck, barely looking human, and grimly surviving by resorting to undesirable means to pay for the drugs that were killing, not only her, but also a part of me.

Our family had occasional glimpses of hope, when she began various programs to try to break free from the vicious hold of Heroin, Amphetamines and pills. We watched Methadone, Naltrexone, Twelve step, Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, Minimum Harm and Counseling programs, all fail. None were effective, and each time they failed, the slide back into the hell of drugs left us all feeling more hopeless, helpless and lost than before.

My mother, provided a ray of hope. She found in her local newspaper the picture of a happy mother and daughter, and read their success story, through the Narconon Program ,a drug rehabilitation program with a Over 60% success rate. My daughter spoke with them, not able to believe anyone could really break free from drugs and stay "clean."

It took three months, a house eviction, and a near jail sentence to break through her drug-blurred reality, and agree to try this new hope, and it was the happiest day for me, in the ten years of her drug taking history, when she stepped onto that plane!

Yes, it did cost money, -about the same cost as the funeral which she was heading for,- and it was the best money I have ever spent.

It took nine months for my daughter to complete the program, beginning with a drug free withdrawal, followed by a deep cleansing sauna and exercise routine to completely remove all re-stimulating drug residuals from the body. Then continued a series of skill and life building programs to consolidate and re-educate her into reclaiming her life and place in society.

She graduated from the program, a strong, aware, happy, healthy, competent, able young woman, ready to take her place in the world.

We are now extremely fortunate to have the Narconon Program in Sydney, NSW.

From the depths of my heart, I thank God for this Program, and hope that my story will encourage other families to get their sons and daughters, into Narconon, and to trust that there is a way that really works!

Sincerely, and with my best wishes, E. C.

Perth. West Australia"
