I joined Scientology in 1989 at a time when I was very depressed and had a lot of problems. As time went by and I got through a few basic courses. Changes began to take place and things started to happen. As I read the Ups and Downs in Life course and a few other courses, I got an understanding of what was wrong and why, and I started to do better. I have never roller-coastered so drastically since that course. Also in studying I have achieved quite a bit using study technology. My spine curved which almost crippled me, but since using nerve assists I have been able to walk again and am still making improvements.
