In 1969, upon high school graduation, I had the world by the tail. The future looked extremely bright and I felt free to create it as I saw fit.

     By 1971, I had established myself as an architectural designer and my career was on its way. Could life get any better?

     By 1973, I had a job that I could no longer hold, a house that I no longer could care about, a family I no longer felt I could contribute to, a wife who's love I could no longer return, and a future that no longer looked bright, but in fact, was often grim or nonexistent. What I did have was a drug addiction; an apparent solution to some glitch along the way that had become the real problem.

     In search for real mental help (and I, like most of us, knew that psychiatry led only to death), I began searching for a religion that might bring some sort of peace of mind to my obvious spiritual travail. It was then I read a book called Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thoughtby L. Ron Hubbard. By completion of that book, I knew that help was available, and hope loomed on the horizon. Through the techniques of Dianetics and Scientology, I am very proud to say that my future was restored, peace found and the ability to create the future that is now mine regained.

     Dianetics and Scientology truly saved my life!
