Publisher's summary
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.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but.

What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

Story
It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly analytical culture is pushing people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this "overthinking". Her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women - more than half of those in her extensive study - are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life.

Story
What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

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.

A good read for the sober curious
I am pleasantly surprised by this memoir. This is an autobiography with a lot of advice about recovery from marijuana addiction. Recovery books are often boring and cliche. But this book is fresh, insightful and entertaining. I found it to offer a useful perspective as well as being fun to read.
At the very least this book kept me away from weed for several hours. But perhaps I will stop smoking entirely in part because of this book.
If you are sober curious and want an entertaining book that presents the principles of AA (but for marijuana), this is the best book I have found so far!
This is an excellent recovery book! Perfect for anyone curious about getting off weed.
Thank you Kathy D!
