In her first entry, dated April 29, 2009, she wrote, "My name is Jennie Ketcham, and I am a recovering pornstar, and addict. This day, as every day, is the first day of the rest of my life, and I intend to live it to the fullest." The blog has been featured on Last Call with Carson Daly. In December 2009, Ketcham began contributing to The Huffington Post. She published a memoir in July 2012 titled I Am Jennie. Personal life Ketcham states she became sexually active at age 12, and that she practiced safe sex as a youth. She has explained that her sexual activity was a way for her to achieve the emotional validation missing from her relationships with family and friends. Her parents divorced when she was 13; Ketcham has said she ceased speaking to her father and did not do so again until she was 26. Ketcham is an avid painter and sees it as a healthy activity for sex addiction, as well as a new source of income. When she was enrolling in college, she forfeited all porn-related sources of income to make a clean break.
