Pfizer Pharmaceutical to Pay 2.38 BILLION DOLLARS in Fines

Yes, that is a correct figure. This $2.38 billion dollar fine includes the largest ever criminal fine of $1.2 billion dollars.

Think about this for a few seconds. How much wrong-doing must have been present for a fine of over TWO BILLION DOLLARS? I realize in this day and age of government over-spending, even the word "trillion" has lost its meaning and impact. But a company being fined 2.38 billion dollars definitely communicates to me.

A Life Without Drugs?

Do you have a friend, associate or family member who is having a rough time of it due to drugs or alcohol? Can you imagine what that person's life is like? They may come across as "having it together" and they may convince most people around them that it's not that big a deal, but a drug or alcohol addiction is an incredibly difficult thing to deal with. Talk to the loved ones of someone dealing with a drug/alcohol problem - they're also suffering, in many different ways.

If you know someone who is having this kind of problem, I'm here to tell you a genuine solution exists. Using the materials of L. Ron Hubbard, a drug rehabilitation program was created 36 years ago. Now over 100 drug rehab centers around the world are routinely bringing people out of this agonizing condition and returning their life and dignity. This drug rehab program is called Narconon. The bottom line for a program of this kind is one and only one thing: results. Do people go through it and then relapse or do they stay off drugs (or alcohol)? Do they still feel compelled to return to their addiction or have they genuinely moved on with the rest of their life?

Let's hear from one person who's been through the Narconon program:

"I really do not have the words to describe how I feel today as compared to the life I lead engulfed in the degradation of drugs. How do you describe the day to day agony and humiliation of being a drug addict. Drugs control and destroy life and make you do things you would never dream of doing if not for the illusive and hollow promises you tell yourself this chemical will give. How do you describe this insanity in such a way to make others understand just how devastating it really is. How do you explain a life without pride or integrity or peace of mind, not even a little. How do you describe the guilt and alienation from life.

"I came to Narconon a broken mess of a human being. I had lied to myself for so long that I started to believe there really was no hope for me, or a way out of the trap. I told myself that I was a drug addict and that somehow explained and justified my impeccably wasted life. I was more dead than alive and numb!!!

"Today I have no words to really explain the difference in my life. Narconon has taught me how to live again. Narconon has restored my faith in myself and given me a peace and stability that can only be dreamt of. No longer do the chemicals of evil men call my name or haunt my dreams. No longer do I fear or hate or have to hide. I am successful and happy and I have a future. I can see again and have restored faith in myself. I can look people in the eye and be proud. I can smile and enjoy even the smallest of simple pleasures.

"Narconon made me whole again. How do you thank someone for saving your life?"

Now I realize that's just one success story. But there are thousands and thousands more just like that one. Take a few minutes and check out the Narconon site. If your friend or loved one is suffering, they don't need to suffer much longer.
