It seems odd to think a drug addict would have any concern for children. However, as Narconon East U.S. explains, as the addict is freed from his addiction and put on his own road to a better life, the care and handling of children becomes an inevitable part of that equation.
Narconon has as a fundamental part of its drug rehabilitation program the restoring of moral values to addicts using the non-religious universally popular book, The Way to Happiness. This book has been in use since 1981 and is a common sense guide to living. Morals in The Way to Happiness are approached in a good sense fashion, eliminating the didactic approach to morals often associated with them, instead the book appeals to ones reason and good sense.
The Way to Happiness was written by one of the most prolific and widely read authors of our time, humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard . The booklet is in use in more than 130 countries around the world with over 70 million copies in circulation. The 21 precepts and subsequent text that explains each precept is studied by Narconon students after their addiction has already been addressed by nutrition, physical processes and various drills.
The results have been remarkable in its application. Oftentimes Narconon students may enter the program from broken families and with forlorn children of their own. Children whose lives would otherwise be subjected to neglect due to parental drug addiction or, if the State had intervened, a life of foster care. Studying The Way to Happiness precept four, "Love and Help Children", opens the eyes of such formerly neglectful parents and gently presents common sense data on children and raising them giving the former addict real direction on how to become a successful parent.
As it states in The Way to Happiness, "Today’s children will become tomorrow’s civilization". Making this real to former addicts that do have children is vital to their child’s success and that of their own. To bring this home with even more reality The Way to Happiness has now been produced in a full length film on DVD using movie magic to present the full text of the book in a way that the viewer gains a complete understanding of each precept in an entertaining fashion.
Children are our most important resource. Abused and neglected by parents hooked on drugs or alcohol doesn’t just impact their own lives but the lives of our overall civilization. By instilling moral values and bringing addicts up to responsibility for their own lives and that of their children, a better future can result for not only them but ourselves as well.
As one Narconon graduate puts it, "I became happy and grateful that I was given the opportunity to do the Narconon Program and gain control of my life and be able to make decisions that would lead me down a road of happiness and success. Thank you Narconon for giving me my life back."
The Narconon program is designed to not only solve addiction but give the student the necessary tools to live a successful life. The Way to Happiness is one of those tools that produces stellar results.
