When I first came into Scientology in 1992, I was pretty well in a bad state. My doctor had stated that I was suffering from similar symptoms as "shell shock" (the same as soldiers suffer when they have gone through several battles). He didn't want to use drugs, and I had one session of counselling, which, frankly, did not work.

      I am self-employed and had been through the worst of the "recession," and somehow - which was totally beyond me - I survived to fight another day. It was a miracle because I had just experienced a totally devastating divorce which virtually crippled me financially - yet I was still there holding on to my business, while watching friends go to the wall, without being able to help them. This crippling divorce was my SECOND divorce.

      If that wasn't enough, I watched my father dying through it all, and two years later experienced the death of my mother. The whole family suffered a bad time for several years.

      But that's all very different now. I still have problems, but recognise them solely as problems - which can be rectified. It took a very long time to achieve my current state of mind - and a lot of hard work. Yet, it has been achieved and I am becoming more and more confident, and equally more and more successful by the minute.

      With the problems that I had had back in 1992, it would have been thought unlikely or impossible that these experiences no longer have any effect on me. But, as what I have stated is the truth, then the truth is that I am no longer affected by those past experiences. In fact, it is like turning the clock back again. Those things had happened, nevertheless, but they are mere past experiences now - which do not cause me depressions nor "shell shock." This has been achieved through Dianetics & Scientology counselling. The "impossible" has become the "possible." I certainly don't think there is any more to add here - because the truth is plain and simple, for all to see.
