I am a 32 year old Hispanic/Italian raised in New York and on my own since the age of 14. Crack, weed, alcohol and LSD took over 15 years of my life. I have been in over 10 rehabs, group homes, military school, and spent 4 years in prison. One third of my life has been spent in prison and rehab. I also lost a boxing career due to drugs and destroyed my relationship with my family.
As if being an addict wasn’t enough, I had guns pointed at me on the street, was shot at and later nearly committed suicide. At this point I desperately needed a change from addiction and the feelings of hopelessness, fear, anger, and failure.
In November of 2007, I packed my bags and I drove 20 hours to Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma. After being embraced with love and care like was never given to me before, I successfully completed the Narconon® Program. There is nothing in this world that could replace that first feeling of love and care that I received.
I have a great relationship with my family. They have accepted me back. I am trusted, reliable, and a very stable man today. I love my life and all of the things I was taught at Narconon Arrowhead. They have instilled ethics and personal integrity. They instilled responsibility, reliability and most importantly, true enthusiastic interest in building a new future.
Thank you Narconon for being the best that you are.
