Here is a Narconon success story from someone who is on the objectives course.
“On this course I am reminded of many of my life situations and decisions. While on drugs my mind was so clouded with negative thoughts and intentions. I could never make up my mind to do the right things or make the right decisions.
Now that I am sober, I am confident that I will choose to do the right things – always. I will make up my mind to hang out with the right people – and I will do it. I will make up my mind to go to class every day and make the best grades I can – and I will do it.
I will make up my mind to treat everyone around me with respect and treat them how I would expect them to treat me, especially my parents – and I will do it.
The Atlanta Recovery Center in Georgia reports that recent seizures and anecdotal reporting indicate that distribution and abuse of flunitrazepam, also known as Rohypnol, are increasing domestically, especially in southern and southwestern States.
The Atlanta Recovery Center, a premiere drug addiction treatment center, gives information on this dangerous drug being used in clubs.
Flunitrazepam is a benzodiazepine, a drug with effects similar to diazepam (commonly known by its trade name, Valium®), that is used in other countries in the short-term treatment of insomnia. It is also used as a sedative hypnotic and in the operating room as a pre-anesthetic medication.
The County Fair: carnival rides, cotton candy, arts and crafts. Drug Education.
Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia has taken the opportunity at a local County Fair to help educate parents and children on drugs and drug abuse.
“While many people don’t think about drug abuse or drug addiction at a county fair,” comments Gordon Weinand, Public Relations for Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia, “this is a good a place as any to point out the facts to people, young and old alike. Anyone can become addicted: someone young pressured by peers, or an older person addicted to prescription pain-killers”
Visitors were not disappointed in the colorful display. Children signed a pledge promising to remain drug-free and study hard in school, while adults learned about the signs of drug abuse and how to talk to their kids about drugs. After signing the drug-free pledge the kids got a free toy and parents left armed with literature.
Here is another Narconon success story from today. It is written by someone who had been hopeless addicted to methamphetamine. However, it is written for those who have abused heroin, cocaine, pot or prescription drugs, because this path works for all drugs of abuse.
“WOW – talk about two amazing experiences in one day! My first win on the objective course today was awesome, but the feeling I just had is INCREDIBLE!
Every ounce of frustration and negative energy just literally bounced out of my body. What replaced it is almost indescribable. I feel ecstatic, amazing, incredible, beautiful, wonderful – AWESOME!
No words can grasp the exact feeling that just came over me. It literally sent shivers down my spine and goose bumps all over my body.
I am full of joy and excitement.
I can honestly say I have never felt this way before and I hope it lasts forever!”
New Sauna Detoxification Program Helps Relieve Methamphetamine Cravings.
Methamphetamine is a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol and is taken orally, intra-nasally (snorting the powder), by needle injection, or by smoking.
“Methamphetamine is a drug that has an extremely high potential for addiction,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for the Atlanta Recovery Center. “Many users report such a high level of euphoria in that first ‘hit’ that they continue using it to try to re-create that first ‘high’.
Soon they are physically and mentally addicted.
Taking even small amounts ofmethamphetamine can result in many of the same physical effects of other stimulants, such as cocaine or amphetamines, including increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, decreased appetite, increased respiration, rapid heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and hyperthermia.
Purdue has come up with a new Oxycontin – one that they hope will be less liable for abuse. However it is unlikely to assume that they are willing to lose any of their 2 billion dollar yearly revenue, which in part, must be addiction driven.
Whether they are prescribed in pain clinics or on the street, every Oxycontin has a price and one way or another the money goes to Purdue.
Unless we have a country which has suddenly developed a lot of pain the entire subject of Oxycontin needs to be reviewed – just not the coating.
A new version of Purdue Pharma’s powerful painkiller OxyContin provided limited protection against abuse, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Associated Press reported Sept. 22 that the new pills, with a plastic-like coating, are not foolproof but “may provide an advantage over the currently available OxyContin.” Purdue Pharma says the coating makes the drug harder to crush for the purposes of snorting or injection.
The company is currently seeking FDA approval for the new OxyContin pills. Purdue Pharma, which sold $2 billion worth of the drug last year, said that if approved the new version of OxyContin will become the only one available on the market.
“Breathable chemical vapors that users intentionally inhale because of the chemicals’ mind-altering effects are used by children to get high,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director of The Atlanta Recovery Center. “The substances inhaled are often common household products that contain volatile solvents or aerosols, such as cleaning products, some glues, paint, paint thinners, hair sprays, felt tip markers- the list can go on and on.
“These chemicals are deadly and addictive. Yet among 8th graders nationwide, this is the drug most commonly abused.
The Narconon Drug Rehab booth at the Gwinnett County Fair was a hit. Over three thousand five hundred drug education brochures and flyers were picked up by happy fair-goers.
“We have had tremendous support from the community,” comments Gordon Weinand, Public Relations for NarcononDrug Rehab Georgia. “We had a large white board with a drug free pledge that children were invited to read and sign. They read the pledge to their parents, promising to not use drugs, and were given a prize. We got over 400 signatures, and parents were truly grateful that Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia took the time to educate children about drug abuse.”
Here is a Narconon success story – written and published here to let others know that no matter how severe the addiction problem, it can be handled. No matter the drug – heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, or prescription drugs – there is a path out and each realization is a stepping stone.

This book is about living life to the fullest and making something of yourself.
With the steps that I have learned, I feel that I can apply this and it will be hard to be unhappy. Applying good ethics and morals is key to living a happy life.
I plan to use this information in the future – starting NOW!”
Here is a Narconon success story written and published here with the hope that others will find similar help. No matter the drug of abuse – heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, pot, Xanax, Oxycontin – any abuser can have successes like this.
“The main reason I used or abused drugs has suddenly occurred to me. I had become so broken and beaten down in spirit. I felt so bad about myself and I had become so totally withdrawn and paranoid.
Therefore going out in public or being around others made me nervous and my low self esteem gave me the idea that I needed “a little help.” It got to the point where I did not want to be aware of anything after awhile.
Now that I feel good about myself again, the comfortable awareness I have (which used to be scary) is now my new best friend.”
