We've all felt the giddy flutter of excitement when our new lover walks into the room. Waited by the phone, changed our plans...But are we in love, or is there something darker at work? In Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction, Susan Cheever explores the shifting boundaries between the feelings of passion and addiction, desire and need, and she raises provocative and important questions about who we love and why. Elegantly written and thoughtfully composed, Cheever's book combines unsparing and intimate memoir, interviews and stories, hard science and psychology to explore the difference between falling in love and falling prey to an addiction. Part one defines what addiction is and how it works -- the obsession, the betrayals, the broken promises to oneself and others. Part two explores the possible causes of addiction -- is it nature or nurture, a permanent condition or a temporary derangement? Part three considers what we can do about it, including a provocative suggestion about how we describe and treat addiction, and a look at the importance of community and storytelling. In the end, there are no easy answers. A straight look about some crooked feelings, Desire shows us the difference between the addiction that cripples our emotions, and healthy, empowering love that enhances our lives.Binding Type: Paperback

Dixie is the best and bestest price on Amazon!!
Style: 8.5 Inch, Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
Excellent made plates and they stand true to their description. Dixie plates hold up strong to your food . I find there are no leaks coming from the bottom , or soggy , sagging , collapsing cardboard like others. They hold up great in a microwave too. Load on the sauce or gravy and know that Dixie will take care of your food plate. The price is excellent on Amazon as well !! It’s an excellent buy for a fantastic paper plate!!!

Thick, sturdy, hard almost like cardboard
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These are sturdy and thick. They held a steak and baked potato tonight just fine - did this to try sturdiness and leak. It is one of the best paper plates I've found, so I highly recommend. I got the blue pattern and they're beautiful. By the way, these are big paper plates, not the little thin ones-- sturdy.

Strong, Reliable Plates That Handle Any Meal
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates for a while now, and they really stand out from regular paper plates. At 11 inches, they’re a great size for big meals, and the 25-count pack lasts long enough for gatherings or family dinners. What impressed me the most is how sturdy they are—3 times stronger than typical paper plates.
These plates hold up well even with heavy or messy foods without bending or leaking, which is a huge plus. They’re also microwave-safe, so reheating food is easy without worrying about the plate falling apart. Plus, they’re soak-proof and cut resistant, making them perfect for anything from saucy pasta to juicy burgers.
If you want plates that won’t fail you during mealtime, these Dixie Ultra plates are a solid choice for strength and convenience.

Fantastic plates!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates were huge--perfect for the Thanksgiving feast. The plates were sturdy and held up to the weight of the food. Even others in attendance commented on how good the plates were and that they were big enough to hold larger portions which meant people didn't have to go back for seconds. The thickness of the plates was good--gravy didn't leak through. I plan to buy them again for future large holiday meals.
