Chasing Sanity: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Sober Days

By D. Lainey Cieman

When love feels like salvation and addiction feels like survival, which one wins? In Chasing Sanity: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Sober Days, a man rebuilding his life after divorce is swept into a love so electric it feels destined. But as passion deepens and family lines blur, the quiet grip of addiction tightens.

What follows is not just a fall-but a reckoning.

From courtrooms to confinement, from engagement rings to prison visits, this is a raw and unfiltered account of love tested by consequence. It is a journey through relapse and redemption, and the painful realization that no relationship can rescue a man unwilling to rescue himself.

Honest, gritty, and ultimately hopeful, Chasing Sanity is about more than sobriety. It is about identity. Fatherhood. Boundaries. Integrity when no one is watching. And the daily fight to build a life steady enough to hold love without losing yourself.
Because in the end, recovery isn't about getting her back.

It's about getting yourself back.
