Loving The Addict is based on a true story. This book contains love, lust, sex, violence, obsession, betrayal, deceit, drug lords, drug and alcohol addiction, police chases, thievery, physical and emotional abuse, hostage situation, and ultimately my survival.  My book began as a jotting down of my thoughts and feelings during my recovery as self therapy to cope with what happened to me. Along the journey of writing this book I found my voice which had so been hidden and a strength to survive. Being that this was my true story and one that I felt needed to be told, it was far from difficult to write, This book was written to let other woman who are being abused, or in an abusive situation know that they are not alone. That no matter what the circumstace is , there is a light at the end of what seems to be the darkest tunnel..
