Update #1 - Exciting Updates + Making it Easier to Support "Hidden Addiction" Oct. 3, 2024

Hi everyone,


First of all, thank you so much for subscribing and/or pre-ordering "Hidden Addiction"! It means the world to me.

The biggest enemy of addiction is loneliness. Unfortunately, there's still so much stigma around this topic, and people often suffer in silence. That's why I'm so passionate about sharing my story – to help others open up about their struggles and find the support they deserve.
For me, healing began with honesty. Being truthful with myself and surrounding myself with non-judgmental people made all the difference. Once I understood the root causes of my need to escape, things started falling into place.


Exciting news: I've been invited to speak about "Hidden Addiction" on a psychologist's podcast with a huge following! And the pre-sale campaign is currently the most popular on Publishizer this week! πŸŽ‰


Unfortunately, I've also received some feedback about difficulties with the payment process. If you've experienced any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I want to make supporting this project as easy as possible.

Please share and spread the word!


This journey has been incredibly valuable for me, and I hope it will be for you too.


With gratitude,


Marcus
