Addicted

Addicted is a raw and powerful memoir about surviving the chaos you were born into—and the cycles you never realized you were repeating. Growing up in Peoria, Illinois as the only girl in a house full of boys, Paris Laster learned early that chaos felt like home. From childhood trauma and broken trust to relationships, identity, motherhood, and self-discovery, she exposes the hidden addictions we don’t talk about: addictions to hurt, to patterns, to being needed, to escaping yourself, and to love that feels familiar more than it feels healthy. Told with honesty, grit, and emotional depth, Addicted follows Paris’s journey through the pain that shaped her and the strength that rebuilt her. It is a story of survival, truth, and breaking generational cycles—no matter how many times life tries to pull you back. View Less
