Welcome to the Starts With Me channel. We have been focusing a lot on weed addiction and that is my primary reason for being here is my recovery from cannabis addiction so I thought it would be helpful to continue that conversation. A lot of people get really confused about weed addiction, and that's a hard thing to understand because it doesn't bring us to our knees like other drugs do or doesn't do it in the same way so it's harder to face reality.  

Now, if you haven't watched my other videos on that, I suggest you do that. And today I'm just goanna read through. The Marijuana Anonymous book and we're going to pull some insights from it and talk about it. So step one, and this comes from the wisdom of Alcoholics Anonymous. OK, step one is we admitted we were powerless over marijuana. That our lives have become unmanageable so powerless does not mean you don't have power as a human. Being powerless means, you cannot control you're using, right? You say you're not going to get hired today by 5:00 PM you're getting high. You say you're going to do something to contribute to your education.  

Your work or your Relationships, but you just end up get. That is what is meant by powerlessness. People fight this idea so much because they think it means the death of their ego or something like that. They think it means that they're not capable of doing anything, and that's not what it means. That's just more ego talking. So let's read for a minute here, step one. Is about honesty. About giving up our delusions and coming to grips with reality, we had to look honestly at our relationship with marijuana and its effects on our lives. For some of us, step one meant honesty for the very first time in our lives. 

So for me I started getting high at 12 years old. And I basically was high 24 hours a day for the next 1718 years. I lied to myself. Over and over and over and over and over. And for me. Shattering that. Lying pattern or coming to grips with the fact that I was delusional and then I need it to be honest, was a very difficult thing to do, and so that's what we need to learn to do for some of us, step one meant honesty for the very first time. In our lives. I knew I was an addict; I knew. I had problems. But I couldn't surrender to this idea and let go, and so that's a Big part of what? 

We are trying to do here. Many of us spent years trying to control our. Use of marijuana. We justified our using and rationalized that we could control it. We may have vowed to use only on weekends, or to have only one join today that sound. Familiar to you? Some of us promised ourselves not to smoke until after school or work, or only when we were alone.
