    in my experience, drugs & alcohol may act as bandaids but they're ultimately no match for the power of this addiction. and then you end up with TWO monkeys on your back instead of one. it's easy to learn about this addiction, much harder to work on it. do you have anyone professional helping you?

    you asked if this has followed me my whole life - yes and no. love addiction manifests itself in many different ways and I didn't know enough to put a name to it for many years. I'm currently going through withdrawal from the end of a long-term relationship, which in my opinion is almost the worst pain a human being can experience. It is truly devastating. But this time I am determined to learn how to keep it from happening ever again. Addiction is a long process with predictable (and thus avoidable) stages. The key is learning how to LIVE and RELATE in healthy ways all along, so you don't have to experience the agony of withdrawal down the road. The fact that you are here is a good sign that you are wanting to start making things better for yourself. Just take one step at a time and keep breathing. It takes time and work but I have faith that you can overcome. I have seen it happen, I know it's possible.

    you are in a good place now to get support and understanding. I'm glad you're here. And don't feel silly or childish for having these feelings. I'm 56 and I still struggle with them (ok, I'm a slow learner). Take refuge here, keep sharing and know that you're not alone!
