"'I'm gonna start warming this up. You exhale. And then when I tell you to inhale, I'm gonna hit this with a match, and you're gonna inhale.' He said this all with a kind of reverence as if we were at some twisted church. I nodded.

'Okay, hit it.'"

Husband, father, crack addict... As a young man, Freddie Wilson's quest for acceptance and respect gets him into trouble when a friend forces him to try crack cocaine. The drug's effect blows his mind, and he immediately finds himself addicted. He spends the rest of the year shacked up in a hotel room in Nanaimo while his wife Tracey and his two small children eagerly wait for him to return home.

How did a bright young man from a loving home get involved with hard drugs? Looking at his life, we see that Freddie's journey was tainted by lies, stigma, and prejudice - but is also filled with love, joy, and redemption.

In Don't Judge Me, the author shares his thoughts on drug use and addiction, the lies we tell our children, and the truths we should be sharing with them instead. It is a brutal and honest depiction of drugs and society's view of those who abuse them.

Industry Reviews

"Before reading this book, I never completely understood how drugs kept people obsessively returning for more. Freddie's explanation of what drugs did for him made me grasp the "why." This is the first book I have read cover-to-cover - I could not put it down! -TZUN TZUN THLUM GA (LOUISE SNOWDON) RPC, SOMATIC EXPERIENCING PRACTITIONER, SACRED TEACHINGS HOLISTIC COUNSELLING SERVICES

"In a world of fakes, this story's authentic and genuine ride was so exhilarating that I caught my breath and looked for a seat belt on my couch. It takes courage to be humble and open, like Freddie does in Don't Judge Me." -GREG BUSHELL, ADDICTIONS COUNCILLOR AND AUTHOR

"Amazing! Don't Judge Me hits all the feels. Great words and easy to read. As a teacher, I think all teachers should read this! The stigma of drugs needs to change. Kids need to learn more about them, not just that drugs are bad." -DENISE HENDRY, 4TH GRADE TEACHER

"Thank you for writing Don't Judge Me so honestly, as I truly think that's the only way we can get rid of the stigmatized perception of addiction." -DAWNA HOPE, CHIEF, FIRST NATION OF NA-CHO NYK DUN, MAYO, YUKON
