iWant: My Journey From Addiction and Overconsumption to a Simpler, Honest Life


By Jane Velez-Mitchell
While she had a successful career in the media spotlight, Jane Velez-Mitchell, an investigative journalist, was held prisoner by numerous addictions - to booze, to sugar, and to her codependent relationships, among others.
Only when she hit rock bottom was she able to face the possibility that these addictions masked underlying issues that had to be confronted to live a truly happy and fulfilling life.
She tells her story to show others who are struggling with addictions of every type how to gain the strength necessary to confront their pain masked by their destructive behavior.
She describes how the 12 Steps have helped her to understand the mistakes of her past, repair her destructive behaviors, and create new habits that reinforce a serene sense of self.
