Narconon Georgia, with a
success rate of 76%, salutes their stably recovered graduates in observance of
National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month). They are sharing some their graduate’s
successes while spreading the positive message that treatment is effective and
that people can and do recover.
Recovery Month, now in its 22nd year, highlights individuals
who have reclaimed their lives and are living happy and healthy lives in
long-term recovery and also honors the treatment and recovery service providers
who make recovery possible. Recovery Month also promotes
the message that recovery in all its forms is possible and also encourages
citizens to take action to help expand and improve the availability of
effective recovery services for those in need.
“We are dedicated to observing Recovery Month and are saluting our
graduates in the hope that parents, loved ones and even addicts themselves will
see the stories and learn that recovery is possible,” says Mary Rieser,
Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia.
“We are so proud of our graduates and the
productive lives they are now living and hope that these few success from the
myriad we have will help encourage others to seek recovery,” says Rieser.
“Last holiday season, my life was a mess. The Easter before,
I had shown up to my family’s dinner totally wasted, nodding out over my dinner
plate. As a result, I had officially been uninvited to all future
holidays until I decided to clean my life up…
A lot has changed since then, I am no longer a slave to drug
addiction. I have been at Narconon for four months. I haven’t been
strung out and every day I wake up happy and healthy. I’m not dope sick
anymore. I feel better than I ever have since I started using
drugs. I talk to my family all the time and they are happy that I am
doing so well and am healthy.”
“… Within 6
months, I was completely broke because I’d had $60,000 disappear and spent the
rest on crack. I started to hate myself for losing everything that my father
had worked his entire life to give me…
This program has absolutely saved my life. While I was here, I learned
how to confront the things in my life that I was running from. “
“Before I came to sauna I was lost and
in a constant daze. When I first got there to be honest I thought it was
going to be pointless and wasn’t going to help me. I had no energy and no
spirit really. All I could think about was dope. After a week or so
I could feel the weight of drugs lift and the fog in my head start to lift...
For the longest time I had lost the feeling in my fingertips. Somehow the
sauna brought the feeling back. I felt better than I ever had and had
energy and really a lot more hope I had in myself. Now I am clear minded
and I never think about drugs anymore …”
“When I got to this fine establishment on January 23rd, I was an absolute mess. I had given up
on everything; I had a very serious addiction to Xanax. By using the technology
I’ve learned from the program I will never see the day the way I saw it on Jan
23rd.”
