I learned much about myself writing this book. It is why the first subtitle is, “a journey of self-discovery,” including confessions of my “sex addiction,” significant enough to rate the second subtitle. I reveal truths about myself that no one knew about me, including me — until I had to accept them to be able to publicly admit them. To write this took a lot of gut-wrenching soul-searching. You will read in the preface that I dictated my book because I can’t type due to my stroke, employing the amazing Dragon (Nuance} naturally speaking speech recognition software, and I list the other factors enabling the me to write it.
