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 which 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 book 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 book offers advice, hope and support for those struggling with addiction in its many forms.
A powerful and frank account of a trans woman's journey of recovery from addiction and depression. Beginning her journey the same year as she began her transition, Rhyannon Styles explores the simultaneous transitions in her life with searing honesty and insight.
Recenzijos
Rhyannon's first book helped me so much and I know this book will help even more people. -- Charlie Craggs, author of To My Trans Sisters Beautifully written, utterly relatable and hugely readable from the get-go. -- Juno Roche, writer and campaigner An act of love for the LGBTQIA+ community -- PLANNINGTOROCK Styles provides a brave insight into the psychological toll and knock-on behaviours that can come with changing gender and being stigmatised by society. The memoir serves an important account of the myriad challenges that transgender people often battle in a bid for self-worth, acceptance and love. For some in the trans community it could be invaluable. -- Laura Pullman * The Sunday Times * Instantly relatable. A valuable resource in the fight against isolation. * Therapy Today *
