In October 1986, I decided it was time to make a change in my life. I had gotten involved in a fast paced lifestyle that included drugs and alcohol for 8 years. This lifestyle to many seemed fun, exciting, and glamorous, but to me, I was hitting bottom and punishing myself by using more drugs and alcohol. Waking up one morning hung over and sick of what was happening, I called my dad (I knew he was involved in Scientology) and told him that I didn't want to live like I had been, and that I wanted to check out Scientology. He came and picked me up and drove me to our local organization.
I had decided to start with the Purification Rundown* to get rid of the toxins and the cravings I had for drugs. I then started a basic communication course. While doing the Purification Rundown, I felt so good knowing I was doing something beneficial for myself. I then decided to leave the group of my so-called friends, changed jobs, moved into my own place. I felt so high on life (which I had at one time viewed as purposeless). I did a complete turn around.
I've been drug free for 12 years and I can honestly say that Scientology saved my life.
Today I continue bettering myself and all areas of my life through Scientology.
*Purification Rundown: a special rundown (series of specific actions done on a case) designed to purify and clean out of one’s system the restimulative drug or chemical residues which could act to prevent case gain from Dianetics or Scientology processing.
