Resumen del Editor

Can someone really be addicted to marijuana? Am *I* addicted to marijuana? Is it possible to live a life free from this addiction?

These are the questions I asked myself when I was at the lowest point of my marijuana addiction. I couldn’t see it then, but the answer to all of these questions was yes. Marijuana addiction is real, it ruled my life for more than 20 years. Life’s circumstances created a mental environment ripe for escape when weed surfaced in my life. Using marijuana led me to crowds who used other, even more addictive, substances. When enough was enough, I didn’t know where to go or that help was available to me. I share my story to offer a lifeline to anyone who uses marijuana and wants to stop, to live a different, better, and more fulfilling life.

In this book, you will learn:

• That anyone can become a marijuana addict
• That many, including the addict, do not take marijuana addiction seriously.
• That marijuana can lead to other addictive substances.
• How I walked through addiction in all its forms and lived to tell the tale.
• That there is hope for marijuana addicts.

Filled with insights about the ugly side of addiction and how it can slowly poison everything in your life, I offer this memoir with the hope that, if you smoke like I smoked and feel like I felt, you are not alone. What I share may help you to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, discovering that there is a life after addiction, and a community of others willing to travel on this journey with you.

Honest account of addiction recovery

Very grateful to Kathy for writing this book. I appreciate her honesty and vulnerability. She tells her truth without sugar coating it. It’s refreshing to hear.

Insightful Read for Any Addiction

Although I haven't personally struggled much with marijuana, alcohol, or other drugs, my primary addiction has been to negative self-talk and beliefs that have prevented my 'true self' from emerging. Seeking a fresh perspective on this internal battle, I was drawn to Kathy D.'s "Addicted: Recovering from Marijuana Addiction." The insights and parallels I found within its pages were nothing short of remarkable.

As I listened to this audio version, there were moments when I felt as though Kathy was narrating my own life experiences, albeit with a few details altered. Whenever the word "marijuana" appeared, I mentally substituted it with "my negative self-talk," or sabotaging belief, and found the book to be incredibly insightful and engaging from the first page to the last.

Kathy's wisdom on self-discovery, the struggle with "not fitting in," and the question of "who am I changing for?" serve as guiding lights in my own journey. Her empowering concepts resonate deeply with me, and I am profoundly grateful for her willingness to share such an intimate and impactful part of her life in these pages. It gives me a sense of hope, encouragement and inspiration that is invaluable, while providing me with tools and a roadmap to continue navigating my self-healing journey. Thank you, Kathy, for sharing such a beautiful and transformative piece of yourself with the world.
