Once a serious addict, Anna David wanted to die. She was isolated, hated herself and turned to drugs like cocaine to numb the pain of childhood trauma. Starting alcohol at age 12, her life spiraled into a lonely life of addiction as she tried desperately to mask her pain.

After a life altering event forced her to face the true music of her addiction and choices, she decided to enter recovery.

18 years sober now, Anna David is now a New York Times and #1 Amazon bestselling author of two novels and five non-fiction books about addiction, recovery and relationships.

She’s been published in The New York Times, Time, The LA Times, Vanity Fair, Playboy, Vice, Cosmo, People, Marie Claire, Redbook, Esquire, Self, Women’s Health, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Salon among many others, written about in numerous publications, including Forbes, Martha Stewart Living, Entrepreneur, Allure and Women’s Health and has appeared repeatedly on The Today Show, Hannity, Attack of the Show, Dr. Drew, Red Eye, The Talk, The CBS Morning Show, The Insider and numerous other programs on Fox News, NBC, CBS, MTV, VH1 and E.
