I Wanna Get High

Into the Abyss of Addiction and the Long Journey Home

A brutally honest, hope-full story about addiction, trauma, and finding one’s way back to life, love, and lasting well-being.


"The problem isn't addiction. The problem is that we have forgotten how to love."

Where It All Changed

At 39, I found myself sick, strung out, and ready to die as I sat shaking and stranded in a South Miami gas station parking lot.

Decades of unresolved trauma, drug addiction, and mental health struggles had left me destitute and exhausted. Death was only days, if not hours, away.

But somehow, I survived.

This book tells the story of how I got there, what happened next, and how we can all overcome addiction, together.

“What a joy. What an inspiring, insightful, enlightening experience, the entire book. I will also add that Chapters 12 and 13 had particularly remarkable effects on me. Distinctly emotional, profound, and personally significant…thank you for this!”
