Narconon Vista Bay Graduate

Megan S. Completed the Program in 2007

I graduated from Narconon about a month ago and I am doing awesome! Before I came to Narconon I was struggling with a hardcore heroin addiction. I had been to two other rehabs and still couldn't seem to kick. At one point I had just given up and accepted that I was going to just be a junkie for the rest of my life. Every single day I wanted to die, I had tried to overdose many times and was never successful, I didn't want to live anymore. I hated being scandalous and sick everyday, towards the end, I didn't ever get high anymore, I just got to the point of not being dope sick. Everyday was an endless struggle, just to not be dope sick, I hated who I had become.
One day my mother came to me and told me about Narconon, I refused to go at first because I thought that nothing would work for me, I thought that I was too far gone and I was a lost cause. She then offered to give me money in exchange for me to go to Narconon, I then accepted the offer, (hey that was dope money!)typical junkie, right?
So when I got to Narconon, being under 100 pounds, with dark bags under my eyes that were sunk into my head, and hair that hadn't been combed in about a month, I was extremely haggard. But the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable there. I then met so many cool people that were going through the same exact thing as I was. I'm not going to lie, my time there was pretty tough at first, about two weeks after arriving there, I received a phone call from my mother saying the one of my best friends had just died from a heroin overdose, and about a month after that another one of my friends died from a heroin overdose, and then about a month after THAT, another friend of mine passed away from an OC/benzo overdose. So, it was tough for me at first, but I stuck with it and just kept pushing for what I really wanted: to be clean. I learned so many life skills at Narconon. Everything from learning how to study, to learning how to deal with any situation I ever come across. The sauna was amazing and after I was done with sauna, I was having less and less cravings and felt so good. I finally started having more confidence in myself. I was genuinely happy being sober, which had never been the case before. Being a heroin addict is such a horrible way to live, its not even a way to live, its only a way to die, and after 3 miserable years of being a junkie, I finally realized this.
I have now been sober for almost 8 months and if feels amazing. It is so awesome to wake up every morning feeling good instead of waking up dope sick. I finally have dreams again and so many things that I want to do with my life, instead of just worrying about how I'm going to get my next shot. I am now moving to Portland, Oregon next week, something that I've wanted to do since I was 15, and I am hoping to go to college in the fall and get my degree to teach art. Everything is finally coming together and it is amazing. I can't thank Narconcon enough for literally saving my life.
