Healing of addiction to hashish

Mrs A. B. (30), Hamburg (Germany)

At the age of 15 I began to smoke hashish, initially about once a week. In 1985 I entered the drug scene and since then I smoked at least one joint a day. In 1986 I started to panic because of this and stopped smoking for five months without any withdrawal symptoms. After a bad experience I started again and smoked between one and six joints a day. Although I did not want to admit it, I had become dependent. For three months in 1987, albeit once a week at the most, I also took cocaine.

After my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning my need for hashish disappeared completely. I have not taken it again and have parted from my acquaintances in the scene. I had no withdrawal symptoms.
