A Stoner Lady’s Guide to the Galaxy

A prompted journal for the girl who canoodles with marijuana. First thing is first, who are you without your titles?

If there is one thing that I know it is that titles are temporary. We use these things to introduce ourselves. Hi I’m Sarah, Mikey and Trixie’s MOM, Tommy’s WIFE, the facility’s SUPERSTAR, etc. See where I am going with this? But what happens when we are no longer in these roles? And what even is an identity without titles/roles?

That is where this journal starts, we can’t work on anything without knowing something about it first. This journal is about you. Get to know yourself. I bet you are pretty damn amazing.

In case you are wondering, no this is not just an edible-inspired enlightenment- I have formal training in psychology and philosophy. I have professional experience in drug addiction treatment. I have personal past experience in a substance abuse family dynamic without using a drug myself.

I’ve been people watching my entire life. I’ve studied the brain. I’ve worked in behavioral health. I understand and agree with my peers (at times) regarding how substances can cause harm - and how intention can change everything.

This isn’t “Dude, let’s numb out.”

This IS “Hey Sis, let’s regulate and reflect.”

I am writing this journal on personal reflection. One of my many talents is treatment plans. The issue is that treatment plans are focused on the individual. I need your input to make this work and be meaningful for everybody. I’ve included a very short question space below. I want to know about you. This is a conversation, not an obligation.

Thanks!- Sarah B
