I come from a fairly wealthy background. I went to expensive private schools and never had any significant material desires. Despite this privileged lifestyle, I graduated from university a washed out alcoholic with no ambitions or direction. I then traveled the world in search of “myself” but there were no answers to be found. The experiences I had were somewhat rewarding but I returned mostly unfulfilled and unhappy. It was at this time that I walked into a Church of Scientology and my life was changed forever.

     The first thing that was addressed was my drug habit. Using the exact techniques outlined by Hubbard, I was quite easily able to overcome my desire for drugs and excessive alcohol on both a physical and mental level.

     I then started on some Scientological counseling, which steadily improved my character. I changed from a negative, depressed, lazy, bitter loser into a positive, ambitious, motivated, extroverted individual.

     One specific aspect of my life that has changed is that I am no longer in the least bit shy with the opposite sex. I used to tremble at the thought of confronting a female in any sort of communicative activity. I have no such irrational fears now.

     Another memorable action in Scientology is the application of the study technology which isolates the causes for an individual’s inability to grasp a concept. With this simple technology I was able to retrieve a vast amount of my former education and clear up some misunderstandings I had regarding some of the things I learned in school.

     The various successes I have experienced from the application of Scientology are too numerous to mention in detail but I can say with complete confidence that I would probably not be alive today were it not for that April morning when I walked into a Scientology Church. I now have a successful career and more happiness than I had previously thought possible.

     I would strongly recommend to anyone with an interest in self-improvement to read a couple of books by L. Ron Hubbard and discover the multitude of wisdom and applied techniques that can help one achieve one’s goals.
