Do the words 'getting by,' 'just making it,' or 'trying to survive' sound familiar to you? If so, Scientology may be an answer for you. It is for me!

          After 20 years of being married to an alcoholic, I couldn't take more. After being told thousands of times that I wouldn't be able to make it out on my own, all I knew was that somehow, some way, I would make it over, under, around or through.

          Bradshaw and others have told us we are a very dysfunctional society. I was out to find out what function meant and to find some of it for myself. Some things helped, but nothing had the effect that Scientology has had.

          For the first time in my life I am not only surviving, I am thriving. God has seen me through a great many things this time, but I know that I am learning and achieving the transformation from victim to someone who is in control of their life.

          It's my boat that I'm in charge of and I am at the helm. It's not the way the wind blows that determines my direction. It's the way I choose to set my sails.
