What if addiction is about more than drugs and alcohol?
Are You Addicted? is a raw and deeply personal journey through addiction, broken relationships, shame, survival, faith, and ultimately—redemption.
Joshua Leviticus Simpson doesn’t tell his story from a place of perfection. He tells it from the places most people would rather hide: jail cells, broken homes, damaged relationships, destructive choices, relapse, rejection, anger, and moments when he could barely recognize the man staring back at him in the mirror.
But this isn’t simply a book about how far addiction can take a person.
It’s about how far God is willing to go to bring that person back.
Through personal stories woven together with biblical truth, Are You Addicted? challenges readers to look beyond the substance and examine the deeper question: What has control of you?
Because addiction doesn’t always come in a bottle, a bag, or a pill. Sometimes it looks like approval. Anger. Sex. Relationships. Money. Pride. Control. Food. Escapism. Or anything else we continually run to instead of confronting what’s happening inside us.
Joshua’s journey shows what happens when a man who spent years running finally begins turning toward the God who never stopped pursuing him.
Why should you read this book?
Read this book if you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve gone too far to come back.
Read it if you’re fighting addiction, rebuilding your life after addiction, loving someone who is addicted, carrying shame from your past, or trying to understand why you keep returning to things you know are destroying you.
This isn’t a story written to make addiction look pretty.
It’s a testimony that says your worst chapter doesn’t have to be your final chapter.
You’ll encounter the ugliness of addiction, the consequences of choices, the pain caused to others, and the difficult reality of looking at yourself without excuses. But you’ll also encounter grace, accountability, forgiveness, restoration, purpose, and a God who can take what appears completely ruined and create something new.
You may pick up Are You Addicted? thinking you’re about to read someone else’s story.
By the time you finish, you may realize God has been asking you to examine your own.
