I'm a writer and entrepreneur. My first memoir, LOVE JUNKIE, came out inn 2008 with Bloomsbury in hardcover, and this past October in paperback. It's also published by Bloomsbury in the UK, and translated into Czech by Jota. I've gotten incredible support from other writers. See the quotes below.

I have a special site devoted to this memoir: www.lovejunkiethememoir.com, a new blog to go with at www.lovejunkie-thejourney.blogspot.com. There's also my main site at www.rachelresnick.com.

Mark Matousek
“Whatever it takes to break your heart and wake you up is grace.”
Mark Matousek, Sex Death Enlightenment: A True Story

Elizabeth Wurtzel
“A deeply true, wholly aching account of the dangerous way we live now--LOVE JUNKIE is great fun to read, and finally fully redemptive. Rachel Resnick brings a light, delightful touch to a hard subject, and creates a great, relatable, readable memoir.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel, More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction

Hope Edelman
“Rachel Resnick's story of love lost and love sought cracks open the timeworn addiction narrative to release something raw, probing, brave, and redemptive. The courage it took to write this story is challenged only by the courage it must have taken to live it. I sit in awe of such unflinching honesty. LOVE JUNKIE is memoir at its very best.”
Hope Edelman, Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss

Lee Montgomery
“Heartbreaking and brave, Rachel Resnick masterfully pulls the past to the present, exploring how the seeds of addiction planted during an unhappy girlhood can blossom into a grown-up woman's frantic search for love. LOVE JUNKIE is a memoir unlike any other; it will blow your mind.”
Lee Montgomery, The Things Between Us: A Memoir

Samantha  Dunn
“Provocative. Striking. Rachel Resnick is a virtuoso on the page. Her fearless examination of the desperate thirst to find love is guaranteed to break your heart. Yet her cool-eyed analysis of the roots of this addiction inspires hope that through committed self-understanding, maybe each of us can change toxic patterns, whatever they may be.”
Samantha Dunn, Not By Accident: Reconstructing a Careless Life
