While her family was made up of wonderful people, many of them struggled at somepoint in their life with poor relationships as well as addiction or alcoholism, and ultimately turned to the popular AA bandwagon to address their afflictions.  And so, she heard from a young age phrases like, 'Once an addict, always an addict.' Her uncle once said to her, "I stopped smoking 30 years ago and I could pick up a cigarette now and keep going like I never stopped," and it occurred to her that he was the smoker's equivalent to a dry drunk. He had never healed his addiction. As she continued to absorb psychology, anthropology, and significant life lessons of her own, the idea dawned on her in the height of the chaos of 2020. Addiction can never be treated by cold turkey methods, because it shocks your psychology, you're stripped from your habits, rituals, and coping mechanisms, and so you begin to miss the addiction, to glorify it because you miss it, and by doing this, you're creating a void to fill, which does nothing in terms of healing the actual addiction. 

The realization that addiction is made up of two basic pieces, 1. the physical addiction and, 2. the psychological dependency where a person's habits, rituals, and coping mechanisms are contained, meant that she had to figure out a way to treat each half of the addiction in different ways, and that any method that only addresses one, will set up it's subscribers to walk a more difficult path on the road to recovery, than what is necessary. In her book, The Art of Quitting For Good: A Program to Quit Smoking Without Suffering, and Never Want to Smoke Again (2022) she provides a step by step guide as to exactly how to identify your habits, rituals, and coping mechanisms, and how your addiction is embedded in them, and then how to separate the psychological from the physical, and treat them differently. Her method to treat addiction was submitted for patenting in 2023, and the best part about it is that it is designed so that there is no suffering, no motivation by guilt,  no withdrawals, no medication, and no stress throughout the process. It is a method that is designed to be easy and gentle on the body, the mind, and the emotional body. 

She hopes that her method to healing addiction, which she has titled, The Anthropological Addiction Cessation Method, may gain traction and audience sufficient enough to make an impact on how we view and treat addiction, so that people around the world can heal themselves without the need for the physical suffering, the psychological torment of having your body's needs betray your mind's desires, and the process of quitting as one motivated by guilt and distress. By understanding addiction in a deeper, yet incredibly simple way, she has been able to offer an alternative to this suffering, which has been effectively accepted as a necessary part of recovery for centuries.
