Overcoming Addiction and Not Quitting when the Going Got Tough
I was born in Forest Gate Hospital and raised in East Ham. My life before doing drugs was normal, I had a great childhood and a good life. My childhood was full of so much laughter and happy times. One of the happiest moments in my life I can remember before I started doing drugs was when I boxed as a teenager in the Essex finals and won the match against a kid who was undefeated, I felt like I was on top of the world.
I Would Do Anything to Turn Back Time and Say No
I did have a good, healthy life once upon a time. I had a happy marriage and three beautiful kids. My work and drive to succeed and provide a good life for my family were out of this world. That’s not anything to brag about, but it is something to be proud of, what one must remember is that this is actually normal.
I Lost My Path, but Narconon Helped Me Find It Again
I was born and raised in Upton Park, East London. My life before I started doing drugs was good. I had a mixed upbringing, and I can’t really remember much. But there was good and bad. I first started using drugs when I was 13 years old with friends.
Narconon Has Done for Me what I Couldn’t Do for Myself
Narconon has done for me what I couldn’t do for myself. It’s as if someone has shone a light on my existence. I feel much more free, not having to wake up in self-pity walking through that dark tunnel.

I Broke the Barriers and Am Free from Addiction
Owning the problems and issues in your life is never easy. It’s easy to blame other people. It’s easy to numb out with gossip, drugs or excessive consumption of entertainment. It’s hard to own the part of yourself that you’re unhappy with.
I Have the Confidence That I Can Live a Drug-Free, Fun Life
I started smoking weed when I was about 13 or 14. I started hanging around with the wrong people, people that were older than me and started doing what they were doing. And then, after a while, I realized that I wasn’t hanging around the wrong crowd—I was the wrong crowd.
