This is the story of one man who went to Narconon for his heroin and cocaine addiction. We will call him Jay to protect his identity. Jay grew up in a single parent home on the northern east coast of the US. He usually lived with his mom but would go and visit his father occasionally. His father was an alcoholic and very abusive to him and Jay said that he was very happy that he did not have to see him often. He said that when he did see his father he was constantly assaulted either verbally or physically and no matter what he did, he never seemed to be able to make his father proud. His father was a wealthy business man who had created his own success and Jay wanted to be like him very much. Jay said that he realized it was not right that his father treated him so poorly, but Jay said that he still wanted to make his father proud some how, no matter what it took.
