From the back:

For many women, physical passion and chemical abuse are inextricably intertwined. We get high in order to numb the pain of broken relationships and to gain courage to begin new ones. Our recovery requires divorcing Dionysus. Taking back our power, we begin to embrace and express our primal feminine energy and recognize it as sacred. Our past experience with addiction can be the catalyst for our wholeness.


includes poems and stories, an interesting read that explores the idea of women and desires with spirituality (without necessarily using the big G word)
