Taite Adams

Taite Adams, the pen name for Patricia L. Abney, grew up everywhere. The only child of an Air Force navigator and school teacher, moving around became second nature by grade school. By age 20, she was an alcoholic, drug addict, and self-proclaimed egomaniac. Pain is a great motivator, as is the threat of jail, and she eventually got sober and found peace and joy in this life beyond measure.

At the age of 42, Taite published her first book titled "Kickstart Your Recovery." Now permanently Free on Amazon, the book answers many of the questions that she herself had but was afraid to ask before giving up the fight with addiction and entering recovery over a decade prior. Since then, she has published eight other recovery books, including her bestselling book on Opiate Addiction, and has moved into the broader spirituality and self-help genres. Several university programs focusing on Addiction Studies have added Taite's "Senior Addiction" to their ongoing curriculum.

Leading a spiritual life is all about choices. The practice of spiritual principles and the willingness to remain teachable are the key ingredients for growth. As a spiritual seeker and reader of the self-help genre herself, Taite appreciates and respects each and every person who takes the time to read her works and respond with reviews and comments.
