It has been reported that Jeff Conaway is currently battling drinking, cocaine and painkiller issues and admits his family had a very liberal approach to alcohol.
Jeff said that “My grandmother used to make beer in the bathtub and we’d drink together; we’d sit there and suck on the hose and drink this deep dark brown beer that she would make. The first time I got drunk, I was three; I drank a bottle of sherry. I thought it tasted like ice-cream.”
So with the help of celebrity psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky and John Travolta, who has recently introduced Jeff to a Church of Scientology addiction treatment it’s said that Jeff is hoping to kick his addictions.
What do you think of Scientology?

As a Scientologist for nearly 40 years — not employed by any Church of Scientology nor any of its affiliated organizatios — most of what I’ve read on the internetin were written by those whose opinions were based upon OPINIONS of others.
Rehashed b.s.
There’s one group that slams Scientology for how it runs its organization. Most of what is written is either ancient history, manufactured or taken out of context.
The latter is easy to do because Scientology is comprised of more than 35,000,000 words = 5,000+ publications and 3,274 lectures — all by one individual, L Ron Hubbard.
Nearly all of it available for anyone. So when I hear it is “secretive” I know that the individual writing such b.s. doesn’t have a clue and never bothered to find out the facts.
There are those who say it is not a religion.
However the truth is the world’s most respected theologians and religious scholars, including Urbano Alonso Galan, a Vatican advisor on non-Catholic religions and Fumio Sawada, leader of Japan’s oldest religion (Yu-itsu Shinto), did individual in-depths studies. Each concluded that Scientology is a religion in every aspect. Read what these scholars wrote:

Scientology is knowledge that can be used. Anyone can taken 1 or all 19 of the FREE on-line Sientology life improvement courses at:

Anyone can say anything about anyone. Why did the Vatican hide the fact that the current Pope has been known to seduce young (gasp…) and that Jews are really behind the (oh, my God!) and all Muslims really are out to (run!)…
Easy, isn’t it?
I will not be surprised if the front groups for the psychiatric and drug industries (pocketing worlwide $2 TRILLION) will be out in mass on this blog saying whatever they wish.
Check out http://www.CCHR.org and http://www.FreedomMag.org for what they do not want you to know.
I’m not a Scientologist but to me it sounds like the critics just plug their ears and chant “nah,nah,nah” like brainwashed cult members when confronted with the facts about all the great things Scientology and Narconon are doing for the world.
There exist many ways to kick addiction. The 1st way starts with the decision of an addicted person to want to quit an addiction.
Until then no way will work.
Scientology is just a way like other ways also exist.
No need to glorify Scientology merely because it is one of a way
One does not rid one’s self of drinking habits, cocaine and painkillers by taking yet another tablet. Jeff Conaway’s progress depends on his own efforts, no matter what route he treads. Good for you Jeff!
I too got help from the Narconon program. I was addicted to cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs, and have been clean for 6 years. I feel like I was ultimately the guy who did it but Narconon certainly helped me out. What Narconon taught me was that I was responsible for my condition in life including my addiction. With other programs I was always told I had an incurable disease so I figured, what the hell, might as well keep doing drugs.
Scientology requires its members to buy blocks of time for ‘religious training’ which can cost up to $1000 per hour. One training session results in the glazed-over thousand yard stare that one can see in Tom Cruise and other advanced members. Members also become extremely agitated and have been known to scream, spit on, and kick critics.
It seems Mr. Conway is simply trading one expensive and dangerous habit for another.
I’m not a Scientologist, but I was once hired by Scientology to write a program that created responses to blogs to make it seem like Scientologists were actually allowed on the Internet.
Yeah, I agree with all the other posters here, who are Scientologists but that should’nt matter.
Even though there’s absoulutely no evidence that Narconon works, it’s just cooking oil, niacin(dangerous amounts according to some), and saunas, and some people have called it a recruitment tool for Scientology and people like the Surgeon General of the US called it “potentially dangerous quackery”, I think everyone should try it anyway.
Mouth pieces for the psychiatric and drug industries sling their b.s. without care. The fact is that the Narconon is the largest private drug rehab program in the world is the most effective– unlike the “revolving door” psych approach thagt are paid for out of your taxes and insurance premiums (that keep increasing). Each person reading this is either directly or indirectly paying the psych and drug industries.
Anyone can read the details of Huubard’s saunda detox program in the book Clear Body: Clear Mind.
Hubbard’s breakthroughs in biochemistry (what chemicals do to life) are slammed by psychs and drug industries because Hubbard’s technologies are direct threat to their monopoly.
There’s really no difference between the bottom feeder George W. Shrub and his cronies, Halliburton the war in Iraq and their obscene distortions to get control of the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world — and the psych and drug industries that are pushing for a birth-to-death monitoring by the psychiatric industery, whores for the drug companies.
(Let it be clearly stated: There are many psychologists and psychs who work hard, just as there are millions in the Federal government that really want to preserve the Consitituion and Bill of Rights. Those who control those industries and their mouth pieces don’t give a damn about you, only about the $2Trillion going into their pockets each year.)

Psych clones (see http://www.psychassault.org/ http://www.cchr.org & http://www.FreedomMag.org) do not want you to know that independent, peer-reviewed, mainstream scientific evidence supporting this method does indeed exist, and continues to gain momentum in respected scientific circles. A sampling of independent research (not connected to Scientology or Scientologists) which references and supports the Hubbard sauna detox method includes the following:

Okay then Mr. James Lightfield, please, tell me where I can access all these books teachings and lectures from Mr Hubbard for free?, because you do realise that if something is not free it is available to the majority of people, making your statement wrong. If your a Scientologiest and not part of the Church, then what group are you part of?
Also, how come people pay hundreds of thousands to get upto the higher OT levels, which promise them super powers, can you fly?, can you tell how moist you are?. This is what is promised at the higher OT levels.
Why would you advise people to goto a Scientology front org (CCHR) or to a Scientology run paper (freedommag) all you are going to see if you goto these sites are what the Scientologiests want you to see, there lies.
Also, riddle me this, why is the suicide rate of people leaving Scientology TWICE that of people leaving any other cult?.
