NORCROSS, GA, June 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Once, diagnosed clinically dead from alcohol poisoning, today Susan is very much alive. For this, she thanks the Narconon program.

Susan started drinking at thirteen. She and her friends would steal beer from her parents and sneak into hiding places to drink it. They thought then they were having fun but as they grew older they out grew this prankish behavior. Susan didn't. In high school she started stealing the stronger stuff - vodka and whiskey. Soon there wasn't enough liquor at her parents' house to satisfy Susan's appetite, so she learned how to talk strangers into buying her liquor. Susan remembers once paying a trucker twenty dollars to buy her vodka.

After high school Susan slowed down a bit. She married and had a family. When she was twenty five she started hitting the bottle again, blaming boredom with her marriage. She was hiding liquor bottles all over the house and these bottles became more important to her than her marriage. Susan kicked her husband out when he started complaining about how much she drank, feeling at least she wouldn't have to hide the bottles any more.

When she single again, her drinking only got worse and she hit the bars every night. She remained a functional alcoholic maintaining her work off and on for ten years while her personal life spiraled out of control. Susan continued drinking and went from one bad relationship to another and even smoking crack when she had a relationship with a crack addict.

The day Susan's parents found 30 empty whiskey bottles in her house they knew they had to do something. They sent her to drug rehab seven different times, but the longest Susan stayed sober was a couple of months.

In 2002 she drank to the point of blacking out, just managing to call 911 before collapsing. When she woke up on a gurney, she learned that she had drunk so much alcohol that she had been clinically dead with an alcohol level of .43.

This episode didn't stop her from drinking - Susan was back at it a couple of weeks later.

This continued for years, DUIS, jail time, lost work and constant worry by her parents weren't enough to keep her away from the bottle.

Then in 2005, Susan came to Narconon of Georgia. This program worked. She learned life tools necessary to maintain sobriety and more importantly, she practiced them after she graduated from the program.

"I learned skills from Narconon to apply to everyday life. These skills not only kept me clean, but helped me in other aspects of my life. I now have a new husband and we have a child. I am no longer spiraling down, but I am moving up. My life is on track and I am doing well."

Her father compares her drinking years to her sobriety achieved through the Narconon program,

"Our daughter Susan began an addiction to alcohol 20 years ago. The disease consumed her to the extent that she divorced her husband leaving him with the two children. She bounced from job to job mostly being terminated for non-attendance. Her relationship with parents and siblings deteriorated and, for at least ten years, the family lived under great stress....never knowing what was next. She lost her driving privilege for more than two years (thank God no one was killed) and overall her situation seemed hopeless.

Then Susan enlisted in your Narconon program in Atlanta. She is now sober, gainfully employed, and is a dedicated mother to her new young daughter. .She is looking forward to a family reunion. ( The first sober one we can remember in more than 10 years) .We pray daily that her recovery will continue!) "

What advice does Susan give to others who are in need of treatment? "At some point in life there are just a few choices - die, go to jail or do something and start living life. The Narconon program works if you work it. For me, I decided I wanted to live and the choice was obvious."
