The Little Green Book

A Guide to Breaking up with Marijuana

De: Michael Stratton

Narrado por: Daniel Thomas May

Part memoir, part 'how to', The Little Green Book will assist marijuana users, their loved ones, and those working with them in considering change. Michael Stratton is a therapist who fell in love with marijuana.

Gradually it began to eclipse his goals that he'd set for himself. Eventually he found it necessary to break up with marijuana. He began working with others who had faced the same dilemma, and then became trained by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) in the latest evidence based practices in helping people change. Borrowing from practices as varied as several recent scientific studies, philosophy, and the Buddhist metaphor of The Hungry Ghost, the author weaves a rich tapestry for self-exploration and the possibility of change.

Taking the middle path, not being anti-marijuana and in fact advocating for the legalization of cannabis, The Little Green Book avoids the controversies swirling around the politics of pot. This book is for the dissatisfied or curious user who wonders if their use of marijuana may have come in the way of their satisfaction with what life can offer. It will also assist those who care about cannabis users in their life. And it is an essential tool for therapists, counselors, teachers, doctors, and anyone in the helping professions who encounter marijuana users in their work.

excellent

Great book by a great author. Very relatable. I recommend this for anyone who struggles with addiction. The narrator is easy to listen to as well. It was absolutely worth a credit

He’s not anti-marijuana!

Mike Stratton understands, he was addicted to marijuana and an alcoholic. Read the book. If you have any questions about your use, this will help you. 

beyond helpful.

I must admit I was skeptical of how much this book would actually help me quit using marijuana but I can genuinely say that it has helped me. it helped me predict the pitfalls of early recovery and I found myself agreeing with the author time and time again. at times almost in tears at how much I could relate to the feelings and hopes the author had while being and addict and while trying to quit. would recommend to anyone contemplating quiting marijuana or wanting to quit. well worth the money and time.

I really needed this book

I really loved how he has personal experience with addiction to marijuana & also experience as a therapist helping many others with their addiction. I appreciate how he is not pro or anti-marijuana, just wants the truth of how marijuana can be addicting to be more known. It was an easy listen & has helped me begin my journey of quitting.
