Steps Forward with Ricki

#004 - Walking Away from Weed: Sharing about my 15+ year battle with pot


Listen Later

Today's episode is about my 15-year addiction to pot and the shame I've been living in by keeping it a secret. I describe my personal experience with wanting to get high all the time, feeling alone in my struggle, and the steps I've taken towards making a change (still taking), and how you can do the same. I know what it is like to suffer in silence, which is why I've decided to speak up finally. Today's topic is for anyone suffering from addiction to pot or shamefully living with a habit, belief, or situation that keeps them stuck and in pain. It's raw, open, and vulnerable, but it's the truth, and I hope that by sharing mine, you feel inspired to speak yours. Remember, you are not alone in the things that you go through. We are in this battle together. Keep fighting.

Walk and listen.
