For Many Addicts, Promiscuity Plays Major Role In Addiction
One Narconon drug rehab graduate shares her story about how The Way To Happiness course, done through the Narconon program helped her back on a moral road.
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) January 28, 2010 — Nicole, a Narconon drug rehab graduate knows how promiscuity and addiction can go hand in hand. “[When I was on drugs] that was my everyday life,” she explains in a recent interview. “I was a prostitute walking streets of Detroit, I was raped and beaten and had guns point to my head. I was addicted to crack cocaine and heroin and using since I was 12 years old.”
And Nicole isn’t the only addict whose addiction caused her own morals to decline rapidly. In fact promiscuity has been directly related to drug and alcohol addiction for decades. According to the government website on College Drinking Prevention, 400,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 had unprotected sex and while under the influence of alcohol more than 100,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented to having sex.
Relationship problems continually arise with those abusing both alcohol drugs including domestic violence, infidelity, unwanted pregnancy and the spread of disease.
Narconon, a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program, recognizes this as a major barrier to successful recovery and for many, and key underlying issue that adds to drug and alcohol abuse.
To help handle this, the drug rehab program uses educational life-skills methods that help addicts to adopt a common sense moral code to living. This part of the program is called “The Way To Happiness” and goes over precepts that help addicts to improve their own well-being and productivity in life. Part of this course enables clients to learn about having successful relationships, being faithful to their partner, and to safeguard their own health and well-being in these areas.
Recently a new video has been released that will be used in addition to the book that covers this precept that is now being used in the Narconon program to better help clients.
The Way To Happiness is a non-religious moral code for the 21st century. More than 70 million copies have been published and circulated in 90 languages and 130 nations. The course has been used as a part of the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program since for decades.
And for Narconon graduates like Nicole this technology has been lifesaving. “[Narconon] gave me my life back,” she says. “I have what I was always searching for that I could never find. I now have that. I have happiness, the knowingness. I am able to do anything I want to do well. I can win at life and I am winning.”
Today Nicole has been free from drugs for several years and is happily married with children of her own. Her advice to those trapped in the cycle of addiction is not to lose hope no matter how many times you have fallen because she is living proof that drug rehabilitation does work to restore those morals that many feel have been lost for good.
