For a Good Time: Surviving Sex Work and Addiction to Become the Mother I Was Meant to Be

Written by Patty Tierney

Narrated by Patty Tierney

An alcoholic mother of three children, married, then divorced, then homeless, Patty Tierney lived a double life as a sex worker for 17 years. She looked for love in all the wrong places, saying “I love you,” when she was really saying, “Do you love me?”

Patty struggled to be the mother she knew her children needed, until she realized that she had become her own mother—the alcoholic mother who had abandoned her when she was five.

Healing through therapy, spirituality, community, and most importantly, speaking the truth to her children 25 years later, Patty’s mission is to help other mothers and anyone else who may be struggling, to help heal their past and transform their lives.

Patty Tierney

Patty Tierney worked as a prostitute to support her three children for seventeen years. After getting sober at forty-six years old, her life began to change, and she eventually began a career in caregiving. In 2005 she started her first caregiving company, which she successfully ran for ten years before selling it and shifting her focus to being a private caregiver. Patty and her husband, John, together host retreats called Transform with the Tierneys, through which they provide a safe space for people to share their stories and practice self-love, acceptance, and forgiveness. For more about Transform, see www.transformwiththetierneys.com. Today, Patty’s three adult children are thriving and successful, and she adores her three grandchildren. She and John live happily in Encino, California; they are best friends, and they love being together. When she’s not caregiving, hosting Transform, or spending time with family, Patty keeps herself busy with her passion for writing.
