Image credit: Photo by Misserion on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons I finally got around to watching the Tiger Woods apology speech, and I have to admit, I was impressed. As a New York Times article pointed out, even without explicitly saying the words "sex addiction" or "12 Step" the speech clearly implied both. In [...]

The Long-Awaited Tiger Woods Post
Image credit: Photo by Stefano A on Flickr Licensed under Creative Commons "Is Tiger Woods a sex addict?" "What do you think about Tiger?" "Aren't you going to write about Tiger Woods?" The questions have been peppering my inbox, but I've been avoiding the topic. On the one hand, I love a good celebrity sex [...]
I Am Hillary Clinton
This post is the fifth in a series on how I came to be where I am around the current election,and the first in a series of posts about the candidates themselves. I fell in love with Hillary Clinton during the 1992 presidential election. I hadn't been out of college long and was just starting [...]
Interview of Me up at MomLogic!
With David Duchovny's entry into rehab all over the news recently, there has been a growing interest in sex addiction. There's an article on sex addiction up at MomLogic today that includes an interview with me about my husband's addiction.

Last week, I asked you all to ask me anything (I'm still taking questions; keep them coming!), and I noticed that one question has been on many of your virtual lips: "Is John Edwards a sex addict?" And (on a related note): "Is everyone who has an affair a sex addict?" I'll take the second [...]
Celebrity Sex Addiction in the News
On the morning I flew out to Long Vowels' wedding, Google Alerts notified me that Bill Murray's wife had filed for divorce, citing (among other things) his "sexual addictions." I have to say, I don't see why these sex addiction stories can't break at times that are more convenient for me personally. Still, unable to [...]
Making Codependency Fun
As I was driving home from dropping baby girl off at pre-school, my trusty iPod served me up Wham's 1984 hit "Freedom." This 80's song and accompanying music video prove that Wham makes everything from codependency to communism fun. Wow! And an additional note on the artist: lead singer George Michael is much beloved by [...]
