Five weeks from today I’ll be thirty-eight years old, with a future as a happy, drug free member of society to look forward to. What appeared impossible became a reality. My purpose as a person has been revealed. Today I can accept responsibility for my past, no longer afraid of my future, and I am wanting and willing to help my fellow man.

My husband went to Narconon Freedom Center in the Fall of 07 after going to 4 other program over the last 6 years. He is still clean and sober now and my family is so grateful that we will never have to be torn apart by his addiction to Meth and cocaine. It was a living nightmare before he went to Narconon. We were always waiting for him to use again. Now we don’t worry about it! He is healthy, has rebuilt our family business and we are all doing well because we got him into a rehabilitation progam that worked! Thank you Narconon Freedom Center! And Merry Christmas from the Berringer Family

I am now A new person thanks to Narconon Freedom Center.Before going to treatment I was down and out of everything it seemed like I had lost my Friends Family And so much more.I was addicted to pain medication for 8 years and Heroin for 5 years.I never thought that I would ever be able to live life clean and sober but thanks to the tech and the Staff at the Freedom Center I now am clean.I am happy and content with my life.I found true friends who actually care about me and do not get high.I spent 6 months in treatment and I have to say that I was the Happiest I had been in so many years while I was there the staff is awesome they treated me like family and I needed that,I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR SAVING MY LIFE. IT’S A NEW YEAR 2010 AND I AM PUTTING EVERYTHING IN THE PAST AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A WONDERFUL FUTURE I KNOW IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT TO AND YOU WILL:)

My Step Son Bill Gardner, Died from an overdose of Narcotics and Methadone that the doctor gave him at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo. I only wish I could have found NARCONON because unfortunately he ended up dying from an overdose of Heroin and Narcotics. His funeral was just a few days ago.

I loved my step Son Bill very, very much and he was on the road to recovery and his outlook on life was positive, and he was really wanting to get through this. We talked many, many times on the phone everyday.

Dec 11, 2009 only 2 months ago my step Son Bill was in a tragic car accident where the SUV he was a passenger in here in Sawyer, MI had collided with a car on icy roads during a blizzard. The SUV was engulfed in flames as was Bill in the back seat.

He broke his back and had a 5 inch metal rod in his back which caused very excruciating pain. He could not walk, sit or stand without a lot of pain and went from the hospital with no physical rehabilitation and right into a drug rehab at Salvation Army-Turning Point. Was only there a week and had a hard time because he could not participate due to the pain and could not walk stairs.

This has been a horrible tragedy for this family. One that NEVER had to happen. I am a street Evangelist here in Benton Harbor, MI and now my mission is to speak globally at Rehab centers hoping to make a difference in others lives and to let people know THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THEN WHAT YOU ARE LIVING and God loves you very much and has a mighty plan for your life.

DO not go down a road of drugs and alcohol when there really are people out there that care and love you in what you are going through and rehab programs that are effective and helpful. NARCONON FREEDOM CENTER sounds like an awesome program and what a blessing its making in transforming lives around the state of Michigan.May God bless all who read this.

Dear Sir/Madam: Uou are right in saying alcoholism if a very serious problem in USA and Canada. I worked as a weekend councilor at an Alcohoh Rehab. in Toronto for over 10 years. I also belong to a 12-step program. In our Group I have 29 years and there is one man with 45. You state a recovery rate of 75 % which is vwey high. Please tell me how you calculated that? My experience in AA is that it is much lower and AA has been around much, much longer. We are free and spiritual not religous and our secret is one alcoholic talking to another alcoholic. A teext-book councilor can never identify.Please reply.

Narconon is a life safer to many students that walk through those doors. The staff are all very welcoming, and are there to help you succeed, and to regain control of your life. I was a student there, [maybe not the best to come through], but while I was there, I gained so much knowledge, and I learned how to control and better communicate with my family, friends, enemies, and my community back home. Narconon, has helped me change my life tremendously, and I appreciate all the love and support I recieved there. Thanks for everything ya’ll

Growing up without a father, my older brother was there; my bestfriend; father; and my hero. He made me feel that I never had nothing to worry about. Waking up to the news that he was a drug addict, stabbed me through the heart. Getting caught up with the wrong people almost cost him his life. From vikes to zantax along with coke, he was in terrible condition. We send him to narconon & put him in your hands. Sleepless nights, and dreadful days with his prescence gone payed off. Today, my brother is a new man, Thank you with all the pieces of my heart, You saved our his life and our family. My hero is back and my famliy is complete again. Every penny we payed was worth it. We thank you.

this week i will be two years sober from alcohol. when i entered narconon i had no interest in life and i really did want to die. i think people have a misconception that when you are finished with a rehab program that’s it, your’re cured. in fact it takes a lot of work on the part of the individual and it is important that the support system stays with him/her. this january i was hired at the united states post office. this is something that i never could have accomplished just three years ago. now i look forward to everyday and i enjoy being here, alcohol free. thanks to narconon, a true freedom center.

I am the mother of a son, who I now know is addicted to perscription drugs. All this seems so unfortunate, as my son has such a loving and kind family, mum, dad, two brothers and sister, who are all at their “wits end” and do not know how to help. My son has just turned 24yrs, and I know there is someone good inside that just needs to be let out, but I do not know how to do this. I’m the only one left, that still believes he can move forward positively, I just do not know how to help him. I am so afraid that anything I do will be manipulated by my son and used to keep him on drugs. All my friends and now other family members, want me to give up on him and let him go. I do not want to let him “rot in the gutter”. So I looked up a U.K. site and found NARCONON and loved what I heard, so I went to this U.S.A site and found you and I NEED YOUR HELP! My mobile number, area code #614-378 5407, I thank you all at Narconon for all the positive stories of sucess and hope you will contact us, so we can become part of The sucessful Narconon Family. Thank you for reading this.

I have son 27 years old he is already drug free , however his behaviour still not yet recovered. He already several times entering colleges but nothing was achieved , not because his IQ ( above the average ) but he was not tough enough to do so.

Dear “AS-IS”- Im not sure that this note will ever reach you since your last post was nearly a year ago. I hope that you havent given up hope. Most of the people writing are or have been addicts. They DO know EXACTLY how you feel. I am no exception. I started using drugs when I was 14. My mother died-in her sleep-at 32yrs old. My father killed himself at 42 when I was 19. Ive lost countless friends and family members. If you can have hope-than I can too. Hang in there

My son admitted he`s addicted to pills tonight. I`m shocked because just few few years ago he got rid of his friends who started. He doesn`t want to go to rehab. He has sold everything he had. His grammy has tons of pills and if he says he`s got a migrain or what ever she feeds him pills. I told her not to do it. She says its okay there presription, she gets most of hers from her son-inlaw he`s a doctor. What am I suppose to do? Last week my youngest was waiting for the school bus and this 17 year old offered him pills. I called the police when he told me. The officer I spoke to was giving the info. to task force. It feels like i`m not gonna win this battle. I`ve never been through something like this before. When I found out pills was it. I preached to my kids, please don`t do that because when you get old and feeble your going to need them pills to help you just to get out of bed in the morning and cope with whatever ailments you have like cancer or whatnot, and if you take them not for the high or whatever now, and you abuse them your body builds up a tolerance to them and they won`t help you when you really do need them, and there is only what there is and you`ll be out of luck and have to live in unbearable pain. My dad died of cancer and he was in excruciating pain and his pills worked for a while. Please help me “I need to help my son!

Oxy & Heroin Lover says:

January 17, 2011 at 11:32 pm

I am a single mom with 3 kids I have been addicted to oxys for the last 10yrs. I started on them after my first child was born. I would stop when I got pregnant with my other 2 children. Their father introduced the drugs to me I always used weed and other shit but nothing like pills. After awhile he started becoming controlling and abusive he stripped all my friends away and I felt so alone. By this time I was addicted and there was no going back. He used the drugs to keep me in his life. After 4yrs of marriage we finally went our different ways. I filed for divorce at this time i wasnt totally clean but i was cleaner than i had ever been. Over the next couple months I started meeting new people and got all new hooks on the drugs and before I new it I was using more than ever before. Im 5 ft tall and weigh 115lbs and I can do just as much as someone twice my size. I never let myself get to the point of shooting the shit but I will sit back and blow 4-5 80s a day if i have them. Then the change happened and the real ocs were harder to get so i got a hook on some heroin i can sit there and do almost 2grams a day all by myself. Im at the point where I dont no who I am anymore. My boyfriend says he doesnt no me anymore and I know my kids are suffering. I give them everything I can and Im there for them as much as possible but i no without this addiction i would be there for them much more. It hurts me to know im hurting them so much. There is nothing i wouldnt do for my babies. They are the love of my life. I couldnt imagine life without them and i no if this keeps up im going to end up in jail or dead.

I am writing to seek help….My Husband of 7 1/2 years is in grave need of rehab. I am 25 almost 26. We have a beautifull 3 year old together. I had to leave him almost seven months ago for he lied and lied and lied…I was so alone with no love or care from him. I eventually had an affair and fell in love. I did give him another loving chance for I havent been able to imagine a world without him…needless to say that chance did not work…especially when he robbed my parents house of around $10,000. and me of anything that had worth. He stole from the purse I slept with at night and left me and my daughter with no money for food or rent. That is when I left. We were kicked out and now I am on my own. I dont know why but everyday my heart hurts for this man. Being with him forever was the happy future I imagined. Over the last 7 months he has been homeless, arrested for possesion, caught with other women and still using his mother for money. His daughter misses him dearly and I dont quite know what to tell her. I wish I didnt miss him. I am so sad and angry at the same time. I have no money to help him. I have only enough to make a stable happy home for my baby girl. I will not compromise that. He will not call to check in with Salvation Army, thus he cannot get in for free help. He threatens to kill himself if I am not with him…..its difficult to move on in my life bearing this guilt and manipulation pressed upon me….I wish I could get some sort of encouragement that is not judgemental, but caring and usefull
Breahanna Briggs says:

January 22, 2011 at 5:22 am

By the way it is methadone, crank, and any other opiate that he is using that is causing this….I think he might be using heroin

I am 47 yrs old. I have been addicted to opiates, prescription drugs, for 13+ years, in prison once, looks like I may be headed there again. I was a registered nurse until May of 2005. I have a very supportive family, and my husband & children have been wonderful through just about everything. I am going to die, if I don’t get well! I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have yet to be truly honest with myself…let alone my loved ones & friends. I took the first step today in telling my Dad & siblings & my kids that I have been using again…& that I really never stopped…not even in prison. Being in prison just was not enough for me to change my ways. I am now under investigation for falsely calling prescriptions for Ultram. I take anywhere from 40- to 80 pills a day. I have tried intensive outpt therapy 3 times, no success. I want help, I do not want to die. Hard to imagine not having to pop a pill to feel normal. Please, I am desperate. I NEED HELP! I need intensive in-pt therapy!! I am ready!

I have a son samuel rosa who at the current moment is in jail for taking thing’s from a store that he can sell so he can buy drug’s. i love my son so much i would trade place’s with him if i could but i can’t. So i’m deperate to find him help before it’s to late. He has had a drug problem now for at least 12 year’s maybe 13. The girl who he has 2 children with also has a severe drug problem and her use caused them to lose custody of their 2 children. My son was away in jail at the timewhen his son was taken away from his girlfriend and when he got out and found out his son was now in the custody of his girlfriend’s father it devistated him. He felt totally defeated. neither he nor the girlfriend stopped abusing at this point. In fact it continued at a rapid rate. My son felt he couldn’t get his son back on his own at this point so he did nothing to improve himself. All of his self worth was totally shot at this point. This was 4 year’s ago. Since then he temporarily got together with his ex girlfriend and that disaster produced another child which is now 1 year old and is also in the custody of the girlfriend’s father. My son was away also when his second child with this girl was taken away. This has been a vicious cycle of abuse that my son cannot not seem to shake. It seem’s like when he goes to jail he’s clean for awhile when he come’s out but he drift’s back to his aunt’s house who is a big source of the problem because she supplie’s him with any drug you could imagine. then he dwell’s on the fact of his kid’s not being with him and he use’s that as an excuse to start shit all over again. He has almost died numerous time’s and i know if he doesn’t have something in his life to rebuild his self esteem he is not going to be able to continue in life and I can’t loose my son. I know this may sound like another typical story of abuse but their is so much more to this story that I would be here all day telling you about it. Like i said my son is now yet again in jail and what he really need’s is severe
manditory treament in a facility nowhere near Staten Island.
I need to save my son”s life and to show him life is worth living and that he can get his kid’s back with my help if he get’s clean. i need to make him realize that this is a real possibility and not just a dream. Please if you can help me some how let me know. My son need’s treatment not jail time because the mental aspect of his addiction will not be treated and the cycle will continue once he’s finally out.
anna rosa says:

April 10, 2011 at 2:34 pm

I started with pot when I was 15 to “fit in” with the “cool” crowd. Have tried alot of drugs at least once. LSD, coke, meth, prescription pain meds. I was able to stop the chemicals. I still smoke weed even tho I’m 50 now. I have chronic pain issues and whether anyone believes it or not, pot helps. I am addicted to it tho. I also take oxycodone (legal prescription) under a pain mngt. doctor’s supervision for chronic back pain. I try not to take them unless I need them, but that is becoming more often than not.

My son is 20 yrs old and I think he is addicted to heroin, crack and xanax. He is in denial and swears he doesn’t do drugs. He is constantly lying and taking money from me. Although, he works on and off he never has any money. He is jittery-can’t sleep and claims it’s an anxiety attacks. He sleeps for a days straight-then gets up goes out and comes home the happiest person in the world. I am so worried as I have no idea how bad and how deep he is into this. Where does a person start to get him help? How do you get them to admit they need help? Does insurance cover this sort of rehab? Please let me know.

I have a 17 year old son who is an alcoholic. It’s the hardest thing for me to see is my oldest child struggle. There are so many times I feel like I am at a loss. What do I say to him? How can I help him. I know one thing is for sure I will not turn my back on him. That is not an option for me. My son is on probation and he has let this diease consume so much that he has made some stupid choices. That might end up sending him back to jail and I know that is not the answer. Getting hin the right help is what he needs. I feel like I need answer not only what’s the right treatment but what about insurance I have state aide. I know that if I don’t do something now his life ahead won’t be great. He is a wonderful son underneath all the drinking.

for over ten yrs ive been partaking in the use of recreantional drugs from crystalmeth to crack to marijuana and it seems to be a habit i incurred at about the age of 18 im just looking for some help so i can stay sober on the straight and narrow because it just recently cost me my job and if i dont stop it may cost me my marriage and also alchol plays a major role in my life as well see when things arent going right i tend to turn to either drugs or the bottle. thank you

I have a sister who has been doing drugs now for about 25 years..yes i said 25 years. She is still alive ..how..I do not know. In the past couple of years she has lost two very close friends both from drugs and one very recently of an overdose. Her husband passed away this year at a very young age but left her with enough money to kill herself with drugs. Se has children who have no clue how to help her nor do I but i feel she will not volunteer to enter rehab. I need a way to get her help against her will. I feel this is the only way to save her life.

For the past 5 years ive been involved with all kinds of different pills an well weed also but the weed never seemed to be the issue. it started with lorcets an u know the drill it only gets worser then perks, roxis, oxys, morphone and whatever else i could get a couple years ago i stated taking adderall bcuz i was working a 3rd shift poker game that wld go on for 3 days at a time. i started treatment this past april of 2011 an i have had a clean drug screen for 60 days now except for the methodone that there giving me. im doing as an outpatient program and im not around nobody that i used to be around actualy its like ive dissappeared i have a new number i dont never go any were besides to rehab everyday. an the past couple weeks has been really hard for me and i dont understand ive been really tempted to going out an trying to get high its like im fighting with my on self or something. you no when someone tells u not to do something it makes you want to go an do it even more. well thats what it is but its my on self like when i think about doing something i tell myself “no you cant” you’ve got 60 days under you so dont mess it up “you know”. An then its like something alse like really starts messing with my head an i get so frustrated because i want to get some relief from all the stress in my life. i have alot of shit going on in my life right now for just me to be dealing with an dealing with it sober minded is driving me insane.. Does anyone have any advice for me… if anyone thats been in my shoes feels like hooking me up with some healthy advice plzzz email me. staceyslilmama@yahoo.com

I am requesting infor for my daughter who is 24 years old. She will be out of jail in 57 days and needs a sober living facility to go to. She wants to be slean and stay clean. She wants to further her education and work at the same time. She is looking ffor a place to go. Her finances are nill. She does get food stamp money and will apply for state aide when she gets out. Even though she thinks she can do it all she needs people to help her apply for state aide because she can’t seem to keep on track. Victoria was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5 and now we find out that shw misdiagnosed and is Bi-Polar. Please advise us. Thank you. Barbara, Victorias Mother

My fiance has been a crack addict for over ten years. It has gotten to the place that he sales everthing that he can to get money for his habit. He has come home without shoes on his feet because he sold the shoes that he was wearing. He has loned people my car for money so that he can get high. I am at my wits end. I have tried everything that I can to get him to get help because we have a two month old daughter that needs him around. He has other children that were before me but all he thinks about is getting high. He is locked up right now on drug posession. I can not continue to live my life like this and I do not wish to raise my daughter like this. I love him with all my heart but he really needs help. Please someone help me to help my fiance.
