Find out from a recent graduate
, just how he changed his life with the Narconon Program.
I first became addicted to drugs when I was a Senior in High School.
I was that Captain of my Baseball team and expectations were high for
me. I was living in Revere, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. I had
already received a full scholarship to play baseball and tryout for
football at Boston College as well as the University of Southern Florida.
My High School hadn't won a State Championship in twenty years and I
felt everyone was placing all their hopes on my shoulders. Cocaine was
offered to me by a teammate, who made claims that using this substance
would enhance my performance. I gave in and tried it and I loved it
instantly. We didn't win the state championship but I went on to attend
university in Florida. When I arrived, I began doing cocaine on a regular
basis and also began snorting heroin every day. After two months of
being in Florida I failed a random drug test and was suspended from
the school.
I returned home to New England to find that the heroin there was about
50% more pure and that much more addicting. It seemed everyone my age
was either doing heroin or ecstasy. Finally after some time my family
convinced me to get help. I attended a 30 day 12 step program and sure
enough 4 hours after my release I relapsed. I still had much passion
for baseball. The man that had scouted me during High School for Boston
College called me to inform me that the Lowell Spinners, a short season
minor league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, were having a tryout in
6 weeks. Knowing this I decided to quit heroin and cocaine. This was
quite a struggle but I made it through fine. I was in decent enough
shape to make the Spinners Squad as a third baseman. This is when I
found my next addiction.
Once I made the team I moved into a large Condo with two of my teammates,
in Lowell Massachusetts. The first day there they introduced me to anabolic
steroids. I began using Anabolic Steroids religiously. Immediately I
became addicted, though I didn't realize this at the time. My strength
and power skyrocketed, and my weight skyrocketed. I now weighed in at
260 pounds with only 8% body fat. My production was amazing but I slowly
began to disconnect from my family and friends. My temper became a major
issue, lashing out at people and physical confrontation became frequent
occurrences. However, all I could see was the physical transformation
and how it was affecting my skills.
With the increase in production I was promoted to the Single A Red
Sox Affiliate in Sarasota, Florida. The more positive results I saw
from the steroids the more of them I wanted. Shortly thereafter I began
stacking (a term commonly used in association with Anabolic steroids,
in reference to using several different compounds) four or five different
types of steroids. I didn't care that blood tests showed an elevated
thyroid or that my liver was in trouble. The team doctors didn't care
either; they had a funny way of turning their heads at such things.
I was using so much that I couldn't sleep at night without taking valiums
and smoking marijuana regularly. My production on offence was still
above average but due to the increase in size my speed and mobility
in the field was greatly affected. My temper wasn't an issue with my
team-mates because at least half of them were doing the same thing.
While in Sarasota I met my future wife. She knew about the steroids
but wasn't aware of the harmful effects as I only told her about the
positive, so at the time she remained supportive of my use.
Two years passed and I was now playing at the double A level in Trenton,
New Jersey. I had been on steroids continuously with the exception of
maybe a few months here and there. It was then that my wife started
to see what steroids really do to a person. I became obsessed. No matter
how big I grew I always felt small. I became selfish, only caring about
myself and my training. At this point my only chance at ever making
it to the major league level was as a first baseman or solely as a hitter.
My flexibility was all but gone along with my speed, thus rendering
me useless in the outfield or at third base. Also, at this time I had
gone into business with a former team-mate, opening up two gyms one
in Old Orchard Beach, Maine the other located in Worchester, Massachusetts.
Being an owner of a gym brought all kinds of benefits for me, including
free steroids in exchange for turning my head the other way when dealings
went on in the locker room.
Soon I saw the effects that steroids have on ones mind. I looked at
nothing clearly, my judgement suffered greatly. A drug that is advertised
as non-addictive became more than just that for me. It came to the point
where if I were to stop using steroids I would have no natural testosterone
left. I wasn't even making physical gains anymore it became more of
a maintenance issue. Soon my baseball career would come to an end.
I was promoted to Triple A Pawtucket the last stop before reaching
what every man raised in New England dreams of, playing for the Boston
Red Sox. I was doing my daily weight training routine in the team complex,
when it all came to a screeching halt. My muscles and strength had grown
to fast for my joints, ligaments and tendons. I was bench-pressing over
500 pounds and my elbow and wrist gave out along with a torn rotator
cuff.
This is when the Doctors prescribed me oxycontins to help deal with
the pain. Instead of trying to rehabilitate the injuries and continue
my career, my past addiction of opiates was brought back by the use
of the oxycontin. No longer afraid of needles after my steroid use I
began injecting the pills and eventually heroin and cocaine as well.
All this while still using steroids. With baseball done for me, I focused
on my gym and bodybuilding. I felt no pain with the weights I was pushing
because of the narcotics. I spent no time with my wife and daughter
everything was centered around me, my gym and my drugs. All extra money
brought in from the gym was spent on more drugs until eventually there
was no extra money. My judgement was so bad I became unfaithful in my
marriage and became very promiscuous. When I got my girlfriend pregnant
my marriage ended and so did any chance of getting off drugs. My girlfriend
was also an addict of heroin and Crack cocaine. I sold my shares of
the gyms and we used the money to support our habits. I no longer used
steroids and every day was centered around getting heroin, powder cocaine
and crack cocaine. My personal habit was $300 every day not including
what my girlfriend was doing. I did everything I could to keep all positive
influences out of my life. I was always considered a functioning addict,
meaning people couldn't tell by looking at me that I was high. I had
my ex-wife fooled as she let me have our daughter half of the time.
With the combination of steroids and the street drugs I had lost the
will to live. Every time I injected heroin and cocaine I knew I was
risking my life but at the time this was my desire. I had lost all ability
to care for anything. The turning point for me came when I came home
and saw my girlfriend holding our 2-month-old baby while smoking crack
from a glass pipe. At this point I realized it was time to get help
or end up dead, thus leaving two children without a Papa to care for
them. This is when I came to Narconon. The Technology that was delivered
to me at Narconon not only has helped me with my drug addiction, but
all other aspects of my life. The prolonged steroid use made me feel
dumb, the heroin and cocaine use took away my ability to smile or laugh.
After completing the New Life Detoxification program, I regained my
intelligence along with my sense of humour. The further I progressed
through the program the more I became myself once again. I now work
at Narconon and have worked in the course room, sauna detox area, student
control and security and I am now an ethics officer in training. Working
here has proved to be more rewarding than any other job I have ever
held. On the surface, playing Baseball may appear more glorious than
working at Narconon, however with this job I actually get to help save
peoples lives and I get wins and gains every day by watching these people
change physically and mentally back to who they were before Drug addiction
consumed their lives.
Many people view steroids strictly as a cosmetic drug, something that
makes you feel better, look better and perform better. I don't argue
that initially steroids do just that but I know from my experience that
prolonged use of Anabolic or Androgenic Steroids will lead to suicide,
death, divorce not to mention the health risks that go along with them.
As an athlete and a former gym owner I have witnessed all of these things
happen to myself and many, many others, including rushing a good friend
to the hospital because he was urinating black substances. I also know
Anabolic steroids often times lead to street drugs and alcohol and if
mixed together, create a deadly combination.
A funny thing happened very recently. I was walking back to Narconon
past a small baseball field, very close to the center. Several times
I have walked to the field and just admired the pitchers mound, home
plate and the rest of the infield, but this day there were a group of
people playing at the field. As I approached I was able to figure out
that these were a group of local men that play in a local Men's league,
whom were practicing. I asked them if they needed someone to pitch to
them for a little while. After a while of my throwing to them one of
them offered me a chance to hit. At first I was reluctant but I agreed
on the condition that they pitch to me as hard as they would in a game.
As the first pitch came in I lost focus, it was if I could hear the
background noises at a Boston ballpark. I could hear the vendors in
the background selling hotdogs, peanuts, and popcorn. I could hear the
obsessed, drunken fan calling me various obscenities…and the pitch
zoomed past me without even so much as a swing of the bat. The men all
laughed, I'm sure thinking this English kid couldn't hit a little league
pitch. I dug my feet in the dirt hard, choked up my grip on the bat
and as the pitcher released the pitch I knew instantly I was going to
crush the ball. The ball landed just on the other side of the fence
in center field. I felt a rush better than any drug I have ever done.
For the first time in years I swung a bat with no pain. I still had
my power that I thought I needed the steroids for. Five more pitches
five more over the fence. I realized a lot at that moment, I still have
the ability and the talent to play baseball. At this point my heart
is set on saving lives, but maybe this fall or next summer I will return
home just for six weeks to play short season Class A ball again, and
with the wages I earn doing so, maybe I will bring back two team-mates
who think they need steroids to compete and show them how Narconon can
get them to perform as good without drugs. This is the end…..for
now
