Love Junkies: 7 Steps for Breaking the Toxic Relationship Cycle

by Christy Johnson

A 'Hand Up' for Women Stuck in the Toxic Love Rut. Do romantic relationships leave you miserable and confused? Are you tired of getting into a relationship and as soon as the initial buzz is gone you get that sinking feeling that whispers, what am I doing? Did the new wear off as soon as the wedding bells rang? Experts say that we gravitate toward relationships within a ten-point spread of our own IQ. Likewise, in the realm of soul-health, we also attract those with whom we are most emotionally compatible. That can be a good thing, or a bad thing - it depends on how much baggage we carry around! What if there was a way to diagnose your soul-health and create a plan for improvement so you could enjoy more satisfying romantic relationships? Complete with an online Soul-Health Profile that will help you assess your own soul-health and identify areas of weaknesses, Love Junkies is just that - an action plan and detailed guide to help you eliminate toxic behaviors that jeopardize your soul health and keep you stuck in unhealthy relationships. You'll learn how to change your habits and heal your soul and most importantly, break the toxic relationship cycle! By Shannon Ethridge, bestselling author of the 'Every Woman's Battle' books with Steve Arterburn, and 'The Sexually Confident Woman'.

About the author

Abuse, addiction, adultery, divorce and the death of my youngest son...believe it or not, they've all brought me to a better place--the end of myself. Maybe that sounds crazy, but the end of myself is where I found God. Without Him, I'd still be a mess. Instead, today, despite my former chaos, I live a life of intoxicating liberty and freedom.

My pain is gone, but its purpose was not in vain. Pain produced a fire in me to reach out to other women and help them see the beauty on the other side of their issues. As a Christian speaker and soul-health coach, I'm passionate about equipping women to live soul healthy lives. You CAN live the beautiful life you've always wanted!

I wept reading this book and was astonished at the accurateness--I am so grateful that this book was written. This book has helped me heal so much. And I love that she included so many practical ways to apply the things we learn while reading. I want to hand it to every young woman I know.

Dang. This book was sent to me by a friend who knows the author, and I cannot thank her enough for sending this to me. It read like a letter from an anonymous friend who had compassionate concern for me as a woman and wanted to offer biblical advice on how to be better in the area of love, and how a woman's love life trickles into all other areas of her life.

Plus, I found a whole list of books I want to read that this book recommended. And that's a win-win in the life of a Smart Cookie and Bibliophile.

The gems, diamonds, and rubies given in Love Junkies have made me look at myself on a deeper level as far as my actions when I am in a relationship or in the dating process in addition to making my focus even stronger towards allowing God to be the leader in that aspect of my life. I highly recommend this book for any and all single women. I already have it on my reread list this year. 5 star rating for sure.

Great insight!

Enjoyed the foundation of truth in this book! It’s a book of hope for the hurting. My main takeaway is “I see a future instead of a failure” (Jeremiah 29:11)
