Alcohol No Longer Defines Me

In October 2018, I was flirting with death every day. Alcohol was devouring me inside and out. I couldn’t control it or hide it anymore, I was filled with guilt and shame. I finally dug a hole deep enough, scared myself, and cried for help. Narconon answered those cries.

When I stepped outside from behind my demon, I found that I had been striving for the impossible my whole life, namely—perfection. I tried to do too much too “perfectly” and I couldn’t live up to expectations.

“This has been a journey of self-discovery,
a re-birth.”

Then the fog cleared. I could see clearly, I didn’t just hear—I listened. I was aware of my thoughts and feelings. My mind was filtering, working. Then I embraced the program and found what I really had been striving for was my authentic self. I wanted to just be me— genuine, true, valid, and really happy in my own skin.

This has been a journey of self-discovery, a re-birth. Alcohol no longer defines me, Narconon awakened my truth—my ethical and moral self. I have learned how to live real life with honesty and without having to hide. Narconon saved my marriage and the relationship with my boys, friends, and family.

My demon is gone, I say goodbye to this chapter in my life. Sobriety is taking me home, authentic and whole.
