Why do some of us find ourselves in relationships that appear to be addictive? And how can we heal and recover? Why do some of us compulsively pursue one relationship after another, without pausing for breath, believing that once we find 'the one' our life will be complete? Does faith help or hinder us?

A personal story of one woman's journey through personal difficulties - divorce, an eating disorder, addiction - and how her Christian faith sustained her.

'If you know what it's like to be unable to stop drinking, taking drugs, eating, working, shopping or obsessing over a relationship, the idea of addiction will need no explanation. If you feel you are in control of your life, bear with me; we may have more in common than you realise.'

Essential reading for anyone who has struggled with personal difficulty through addiction of any kind. Clare explores what it means to develop intimacy with ourselves and with God, and details the often painful process involved in discovering the true freedom that comes with finding peace of mind.
