Prior to Scientology, over 16 years ago, I had had a problem with substance abuse. This is ironically justified in our society as "recreational use". It was a game with my friends which became self destructive. I lost my shine and abilities, I became slow, tired, dull though in my prime as a young adult. I could not start my career and dead ended and of course blamed that on every thing else in the world.

      I found out about Scientology in Hollywood in 1981 and did a personality analysis and this promped me to work at my life more closely. Later, after a lecture on the subject, I was very upset on the idea and concept of my own spirituality and the fact that I could myself be free.

      I started a program which cleaned my body, mind and spirit. I even had realizations of my past existence and previous life. Since this program and ensuing studies, my life has taken off to incredible dimensions in all areas. Without this I doubt that I would have ever gotten this far. I have a very satisfying professional career, a wonderful marriage and great family and a bright future. I have great friends and I am actively improving the lives of others.
