The Addict

This is the story of a girl who was hurt, humiliated, ridiculed and rejected - and she escaped. She became someone else, someone who found solace in addiction, primarily an addiction known as anorexia-bulimia. The Addict chronicles that girl's war with herself, a war she kept losing until she learnt to surrender. But this is more than just an account of a life defined by addiction. Diya Sethi disassembles the definitions and self-imposed boundaries that not only imprison us, but also smother our lives. This narrative of immense courage sparks hope without boasting of heroism. It is the tale of a survivor who recovered from self-inflicted ruin and lived to tell the tale. Honest, gut-wrenching and ultimately heart-warming, this tale of fortitude and perseverance cannot but move and inspire.
