Scientology is an invaluable part of my life. I was formerly a frequent user of both drugs and alcohol as an escape from the everyday problems of life. I now have purpose and direction in my life. I know right from wrong and that includes being able to choose what’s right or wrong in my conduct towards myself. For example a marijuana user may say that “I’m not doing any harm to anyone so that’s OK.” But it’s not. He/she is harming himself and lessening his abilities and that not only effects himself but also effects his ability to help and contribute to the well being of his friends, family and workmates. Learning that was a real important step for me. It was also life changing.
