DRUG-FREE LIVES

Drugs are the plague of modern society. They have ruined countless millions of lives since the drug culture was popularized in the 1960s. Illicit drugs are a multibillion-dollar industry flooding the world market with everything from marijuana to heroin, cocaine and synthetic “designer drugs.“

But illegal drugs are not the only problem. Today, we live in a “brave new world” where a pill has become the answer to any problem — depression, anxiety or simply a child’s inability to sit still in a classroom.

Drug use is often only a symptom of a larger spiritual problem in life which the individual is unable or unwilling to cope with. At the root of a drug problem one usually finds shattered relationships, personal tragedy or physical and emotional pain. Addressed with Scientology, such problems are permanently resolved and with them goes the need or desire to take drugs at all. Thus all Scientologists lead drug-free lives.

The effects of taking drugs, however, can last long after one has stopped taking them, for chemical residuals lodge in body fat where they can continue to affect one not only physically but spiritually for many years. Residual drug deposits which have remained in the body have been known to cause lessened perception, tiredness, confused thinking and to create an artificial “drug personality,” which can cause a person to harbor hostilities and distress that affect all aspects of his life.

These and other such effects drugs can cause are directly counter to a person’s spiritual betterment. Realizing this biochemical factor had to be addressed before any lasting spiritual gain could be made, L. Ron Hubbard developed the Purification Program procedure, a way for the individual to rid himself of toxic drug residuals and free himself of the harmful effects of drugs, repair the spiritual damage done as a result of past drug use and regain the joy of living.

Once free from the harmful effects of drugs, a person becomes certain of himself, unafraid to live life to the fullest and able to bring honesty and trust to relationships with others.

“Today, drugs are no longer ruining my life, several years ago it was a different story. But then a friend introduced me to L. Ron Hubbard’s drug rehabilitation methods which enabled me to stop using drugs—forever. I wanted to know more and so began studying Scientology. Soon I wanted to help others as I had been helped and I became a volunteer using Scientology techniques to improve the lives of those in my community. I have discovered that I have a lot to give this world, and I am now winning in life and happier than ever.”

“During the Purification Program I ran out a few drug trips that I had completely forgotten about, and although that proved to me that there were still drugs and toxins in my body, the best gain I got from the program was an increase in my ability to confront, communicate and smile, and be much more comfortable with myself and other people. I don’t feel dull and lifeless anymore and it takes less time to get things done since completing the program.”

“Being a high school student, I hear about and see a lot of drug use by kids my age. I will and already have, since I began this course, informed them of the harmful effects drugs have on the body as well as the mind. My friend, whom I did a process on, asked me if I could do them again sometime and to teach her how to do them so she can do them to other people. This has also helped me a lot, because my dad will be starting a Purification Center in the spring — I can help him out and know exactly what I am helping.”

“Prior to Scientology, I was hanging around with drug dealers, drank a lot and made bad decisions which created problems for me in life. In need of change, I became active in Scientology. There I was able to look at the things I wanted to change and received practical information I could apply to do so. Miraculously, things got better. Most people think it is so hard to improve your life, but Scientology makes it very simple and very easy.

“I had questions about who I was and the purpose of life and those questions were answered in Scientology. I love people and enjoy the chance to create my life and help others. All this is a result of using Scientology.”

“Scientology has done so much for me, I could write a book. First and foremost, Scientology got me off drugs virtually overnight. One day I was a street-drug user and the next day I was off drugs. I am still drug-free after more than 30 years. A miracle? People who have been in Scientology for any amount of time do not view it that way. It is an everyday experience; we take it in stride. It is expected. For me, it was not just a life-changing experience, it was life-saving.”
– L.T.

“Scientology helped me handle the ruin of my life. I used to live a lifestyle that included drugs. I took most of the recreational street drugs. I was also ill a lot of the time and relied on pharmaceutical remedies just to get through the day. But I knew I had to handle the effects of drugs on my life. Then I heard about the Purification Program which handles the negative impact of drugs on the spirit; it was being offered at the Church of Scientology. There I learned how traces of drugs you ingest remain in the body tissues, as do other toxins and pollutants such as paint fumes and radiation and that can affect one in many adverse ways.

“So I began the program. And when it was over, I felt fantastic! I could think clearly again. And best of all, I knew I would never suffer from the need to take drugs again. This made me realize that life would get better and better. And so it has. Today I am well both physically and spiritually, thanks to Scientology.”

“Drug use became a tragedy that affected my entire family. My two older brothers began taking heroin at the ages of 16 and 18 and remained addicts for many years. Drugs cost both of them their lives—one committed suicide, the other died of cirrhosis of the liver. I, too, became involved with drugs.

“One day I was invited to a lecture at a local Church of Scientology. Curious, I attended with a friend. As I listened to the speaker, I realized that here was what I had been looking for—recognition of the spiritual side of life. Everything made sense and solutions were being presented, not more theories. The information was presented from the view that one should not accept something as true unless he observes it to be true for himself.

“Today, 25 years later, I am still off drugs and an active member of the Church.

“I know there is hope for mankind and the promise of true freedom, and I now have the tools with which to truly help others. My wish for others is that they too will take the opportunity to look into Scientology for themselves or for their loved ones. I know my brothers would be alive today if they had done so.”

“I had used drugs ranging from marijuana to freebasing cocaine as well as others in between for three years straight. I was failing in school, disliked myself and had absolutely no inkling as to what I was doing or where I was going in life. The only time I had ‘fun’ was when I was high on drugs.

“I then started the Purification program and finished it in two weeks.

“I have been a changed person ever since! My IQ rose fifteen points from the time I started to completion of the Purification program. I am alive, I no longer have a fog around me — I can see what is really going on in my life rather than living in a ‘fairyland.’ I have been off drugs for six years now and I am a productive person in the society.

“The Purification program completely changed my life. Many thanks to L. Ron Hubbard for caring enough to invest his life in bettering mankind.”
– G.S.

“In 1977 I had a serious problem with drugs. I was drinking morning, afternoon and night, as well as using cocaine five to six times a week. Life was gray. I felt hopeless, and there seemed to be no way out. Then I was introduced to the technology of L. Ron Hubbard and believe me, life has not been the same. My drug problem was history after three months. I began to take courses at the Church of Scientology on communication, auditing and life. Today, over ten years later, I still have no more urges or cravings for drugs and alcohol.”
