So 2008 is coming to a close and what a year it has been.  I cannot undeniably say one way or another what  this year truly meant for me.  It held some great excitement with the book tour—but the excitement of publication was actually all claimed in 2007 so the high was kind of on the down low by the time I reached 2008, if that makes sense. Speaking to crowds is my craving, my pleasure and my joy.  It is the greatest gift this book has given me.  Second only to the amazing, heartfelt, brutally honest and relatable emails I received daily from readers of my book.  Thank you all for baring your individual souls with me and letting me know that this book had a purpose and it extended to your heart.

Love Junkie

By Rachel Resnick

This brutally honest account of Resnick’s personal compulsion toward sex to fill the void of her horrific childhood is a must read for anyone who seeks to understand love and sex obsession. Resnick details is vivid prose her dysfunctional childhood wrought with abandonment, sexual confusion, her mothers alcoholism and neglect. It is a miracle she made it without turning to alcoholism herself. Her escape of choice was men and loveless abusive relationships instead. She confused sex with love and love with attention. She spent the majority of her adult life looking for love in every sexual encounter and male glance she received until one day she realized that the only place true love can be found is from within. Resnick seeks help in a local support group for those like her and finds solace and personal freedom. She sheds a bright light on a very dark subject.

 This title was recently released and can be found at all book retailers and online at amazon.com.  www.rachelresnick.com for more information about the author and her work.

I am back in town for a few weeks and it is so good to be home. My bed. My baby. My puppies…who aren’t so puppy-ish J the statement that “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” is so true. It’s good to get away and spend quality time with yourself when you can. It makes the homecoming all the sweeter. My schedule in the upcoming weeks is rather hectic so I am enjoying this peaceful fall day.

 September is National Recovery Month, a time set aside to honor and celebrate those in this world who have made the journey into recovery.  It is also a time to create a much larger and needed dialogue in our society about addiction and recovery.Having an active addict in your life is probably one of the most excruciatingly painful experiences a person can have.  The word powerless cannot even begin to capture the utter devastation, hopelessness and futility one can feel while being in the presence of an active addict. It is gut-wrenching and heart-breaking to watch someone you care about make all the wrong decisions.
