Like I was actually weighing myself every single day.[0:00:20] Brianne Davis: Welcome to the Secret Life Podcast. Tell me your secret, I'll tell mine. Sometimes you have to go through the darkness to reach the light. That's what I did. After twelve years of recovery in sex and love addiction, I finally found my soulmate myself. Please join me in my novel, secret Life of a Hollywood sex and love Addict. A four time bestseller on Amazon. It's a brutal, honest, raw, gnarly ride, but hilarious at the same time.
