Table of Contents

INTRODUCTION: SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE ADDICKT XIII
CHAPTER 1 HOW DO YOU SPELL ADDICKTION? 1(14)
CHAPTER 2 THE BAD, THE GOOD, AND THE GORGEOUS (THAT'S YOU) 15(20)
STEP #1: Admit that you're vulnerable to rebellious natures and mischievous smiles—and that your dating habits have become downright unmanageable.
CHAPTER 3 MEET YOUR MATCH 35(22)
STEP #2: Trust that there's a Power greater than La Perla that will return you to your center.
CHAPTER 4 GIVING IT UP 57(10)
STEP #3: Make a conscious decision to hand your resolve and Friday nights over to the care of positive influences—even if that means spending QT with your little sister.
CHAPTER 5 I'M GOOD ENOUGH, I'M HOT ENOUGH... 67(14)
STEP #4: Take a brave, probing look at your innermost smut—and admit to yourself, a Higher Power, and another person the juicy details of your honest mistakes.
CHAPTER 6 PLAYING NICE 81(14)
STEP #5: You're absolutely, positively, bet-your-Louboutinson-it convinced that you're ready to move past Addickt character flaws ... and on to Nice Guy investments.
CHAPTER 7 WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME? 95(12)
STEP #6: Humbly ask your Nice Guy to be patient with your limitations. This includes developing a relationship vernacular in which you won't confuse "I love you" with "Add me to your 401(k)."
CHAPTER 8 EMERGENCY ACTION 107(10)
STEP #7: Forgive yourself if you cave. Applaud yourself if you don't. This is a process, girls. A process.
CHAPTER 9 EN-LIST YOUR GUILTY CONSCIENCE 117(10)

CHAPTER 10 REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE (BUT KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF) 127(12)
STEP #9: Make frank amends with those you hurt as a Bad Boy Addickt—unless doing so will damage them, others, or score you a restraining order.
CHAPTER 11 FROM YOUR MOUTH TO EVERYONE ELSE'S EARS 139(8)
STEP #10: Continue to check in with your Addickt conscience—and when you screw up, don't be such an exhausting wimp. Admit it, already. . .
CHAPTER 12 FAMILIAR TALES OF WHOA 147(12)
STEP #11: Through meditation and support from the Addickt community, keep boosting your dating acumen. Couple your will with that of others to learn from their stories and mimic their careful and conscientious prowess.
CHAPTER 13 YOU'RE NOT SO BAD YOURSELF 159(10)
STEP #12: Revel in your emotional, spiritual, and sexual awakening—and subtly spread the Bad Boy Addickt message to as many tartlets as you can.

APPENDIX: HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH? 173
