Aged 15, Lorna was living on the streets of Soho, trying to avoid abuse and rape whilst battling an addiction to heroin. She worked as an escort and a stripper, lost custody of her daughter, and relapsed multiple times. But, somehow, and unlike most of the people imprisoned by the streets, Lorna didn’t just survive but she flew. ‘I’ve dodged through these streets for a lifetime. I realise I have never stopped running since the day that I left the streets, never sat still, never found peace. But the process of unpicking my life means that, for the first time ever, I am actually facing what I have to do. It’s time to tell my story.’ On any given night, tens of thousands of families and individuals across the UK are experiencing homelessness. One in three people sleeping rough have experienced violence and are nine times more likely to take their own life.

They’re addictions so small we don’t need to say no. Most of us can identify a thing – or seven – which we don’t need to quit; but certainly do a little too much of. These little addictions don’t cost much emotionally or financially, and they only have micro-consequences on our health, wealth, relationships and home life – so what’s the big deal? The ‘snowball effect’ is the big deal. The sum total of these tiny habits can be huge. In this deeply necessary, extensively researched, and wildly empowering book, Catherine Gray shows us how to master our little addictions, freeing up peace of mind, disposable income, time, wellbeing and happiness. In Gray’s inimitable and compelling style, this book is guaranteed to make you laugh, pause, reflect, and rearrange everything you thought you knew. A little at a time, it might even change your life.
