I never wanted to be an addict. I don't think any of us do. One day you think you are normal, living a normal life, and then one day there is concrete proof that you are not.

My Brain Scan


Three weeks after I took my last hit of ecstasy, I had a neuro-spec scan to help doctors diagnose my psychiatric problems. Doctors told me that my brain scan looked like some one who was 60 to 70-years old and had suffered multiple strokes.

New review from barnesandnobel.com

Warren Guthrie, someone interested in helping kids., June 6, 2005,
A 'can't put it down' for anyone, everyone.
I loved this book. The slide into drugs was understandable, but the partying was extreme for anyone. Belying that, was Lynn's accessible storytelling, that made the shocking tale seem like it could happen to you or me. Just when I'd had enough drug tales, the book changed. Her relapse read like a Grisham novel. Her family story took the book to a higher, even more engaging human level. By the time she found her 'voice' speaking at a prison, I was cheering for this girl, as I felt I knew her. A great, multi-dimensional, fast-read book. Go Lynn!

Bart Simpson likes it!

"This very personal account of one young woman's journey is gripping and in-your-face. Smith "talks" right to you, as if you are there with her, at the raves, at the clubs and with her "friends". Don't doubt for one minute that it is impossible to actually "change" your life with one decision. Smith did and anyone who is lost and desperately in need of help can too. You just have to decide."

- Nancy Cartwright, voice of Bart Simpson and author of My Life as a Ten Year-Old Boy

Community Educator

Dear Lynn,
I am a community educator for a Drug and Alcohol Council and teach prevention to kids and adults. Someone taped the segment you did for MTV and showed it to me. I often think about you and wonder how your doing. I show this tape to others and it really makes an impact. So many people just don't know what these drugs can do. I want to thank you for sharing your story. I believe you have saved many lives and will save many more. I pray you will do well in every aspect of your life.

Addicted too

God bless you, Lynn.
I was once addicted to ecstasy too. The drug had almost completely enslaved me, and I was scared I would never quit. Thankfully, I did. It still really troubles me, though, to see so many others trying this drug who are completely oblivious to its power to consume a person's life.
Thanks again for your testimony and your strength. It has encouraged me, and I hope it will encourage others who are still held captive to it.
