I have been sober for 34 years after doing the Narconon Program in 1990.

I was born in Albania and grew up in Poland, and I had a wonderful life. My parents sheltered me and I was brought up in a good environment. I never really knew that there were bad people out there. I was a very happy person, and one of my happiest moments was coming to America when I was 22 years old. I had a lot of family that had been living in America for generations. I came to visit for a few months and ended up staying for 44 years.

In 1981, I started drinking and going out partying. I was introduced to some drugs as well, but it was more the alcohol that was my problem. I started to drink heavily.

I got into relationships that were not good. They were not trustworthy guys, and I would not pick up the right people to be around me. This went on for 5 years, and it was ruining my life. I was not able to finish college and was not thinking about the future. All I could think about was the next party and the present moment. I lost myself.

The story of how I found Narconon started when my boyfriend left me. I was looking for a solution. I read about 100 books on things like how to fix life, how to find a husband, all kinds of “how-to’s,” and I couldn’t find anything. Then one day, I found a book by L. Ron Hubbard, and it dawned on me that this was the solution.

I arrived at Narconon and I felt very comfortable. The people were very nice and were all pretty cool. They were there to help. That you could feel. No matter what happened, they would get me through. It’s a kind of care you couldn’t find anywhere else. They care about you as a person and want you to get well.

“I got a new start in my life. I became the same person I was before. It made me stronger and able to survive in life.”

I got a new start in my life. I became the same person I was before. It made me stronger and able to survive in life. I became more stable and didn’t need to drink to make myself feel good.

It became easier to study and understand other people. It made me brighter and returned me back to and made me even better than I was before drinking. It made me able to understand other people and what they go through.

When I graduated, I felt like I could conquer anything that came my way. I could achieve goals, have better jobs, and my choice of people to have around me became better. I made wiser choices in life.

When I had a problem outside, I could always call Narconon and get support.

I have better relationships with friends and family. I can understand my family better, and we definitely have an improved relationship. I get to my goals easier, and I am not afraid to reach. I can be myself more.

I went to college, finished my nursing degree, and got a good job. I can think straight about how to improve things now. Not being under the influence, I don’t do things on impulse. I chose a better life than I had before.

Life is more real to me, and I have a different viewpoint on relationships with people. I like to help other people.

I always recommend Narconon to anyone that needs help.

Narconon saved my life!
