Narconon of Georgia News

While on the Narconon Program I hat thought of all the people in my past that I use to hang out with and use with. I use to defend these "friends" to everyone who tried to convince me that they were no good.

Ive always thought that I had no family, but that my "friends" would always be there.

I now realize that Ive always had my family and those people who I thought were my "friends" were just a gateway and an excuse for me to drink.

I also realized the extent of the damage that my drinking had caused between my kids and family and myself. I know I cant change the past but I do know that I can work on today to make things better for our future. and I feel like I have sence enough to know now that my greatest support is my family.
