Help! I'm Addicted

A Trans Girl's Self-Discovery and Recovery

By: Rhyannon Styles

Narrated by: Jennifer Tyler, Rhyannon Styles, Robyn Holdaway

A raw, frank and practical guide to recovery from addiction and substance abuse from one of the stars of the trans community.

My name is Rhyannon, and I'm an addict.

In 2012, Rhyannon Styles began her gender transition and attended her first 12-step meeting - beginning two journeys that changed the course of her life.

Using her personal narrative as a springboard for exploring addiction, recovery and LGBTQ+ mental health, Rhyannon writes with searing honesty about the complexity of her experiences. The audiobook spans a range of addictions including alcohol, food, sex and relationships, the internet and narcotics, and highlights the ways in which addiction and the transition process can overlap.

A first-of-its kind narrative and a powerful account of recovery, this audiobook offers advice, hope and support for those struggling with addiction in its many forms.

Had to listen to it twice, and probably will again

Wow, OK... Please read the whole review. So on my first listen I felt the book was super powerful but in a bad way. The stories I hard were exactly when I am going through. Painfully so. There were time I had to stop and ended up in bars. One night I even invited a stranger into my truck for obvious reasons. All I could focus in the book was on was the pain.

A few days after I finished the book, some of the positive messages were still bouncing in my head. So I started the book over again at the beginning.

On my second round, while I still heard the painful parts that bring tears to my eyes, I heard the positive message about recovery more clearly.

I will probably listen to this again. Many more times.

As I write this I am sitting at home having just gotten off work on a Saturday. I can't remember the last time I went home from work instead going straight to the bar. Something is changing in me regarding my addictions and traumas for the better, and I think this book has absolutely helped me on this brighter path. ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈
