What I want to say is that Scientology has saved my life. It's that simple. I had Scientology counseling about 3 years ago in orange county California. At that time I was on my last breath of the bottom rung of the ladder. In other words, I wasn't doing well. I was drinking, my marriage was broken up, I had crippling back pain and my dental practice was in ruin. I was at a treatment center for alcoholism and I still could not find the answer as to why I was going down so fast. I was contacted by someone from the Scientology center and they said they could do something for me. I didn't believe it, being the "doubting Thomas" that I am. But, I went down there anyway as I considered it my last chance. I knew that if this didn't work I was dead and gone. I finally decided I was to give it a last try. I, in severe pain, went to the organization. As I write this, I re-realize that I shouldn't be here writing this--it is a real miracle-- I am not kidding. Anyway, When I got there, I was scared. I doubted. It was completely different than anything I had ever scene. I got in to my first counseling session and it was the most incredible experience I had ever had. I found a little bit of me. From there, I have been getting more well and more well and life has been getting better and better. The courses and counseling have continually led to bettered conditions. I now have a thriving dental practice, I am so happy with my work-- I know how to handle people, I can run things now. I have a new lady in my life and it's the most incredible relationship I ever had with a woman. She was with me right at the beginning of My journey in to Scientology. Let's sum it all up--Scientology saved my life.
