That was a very good question/topic to start with. And it seems everyone replying certainly understands compulsive behavior quite well. Of course if anyone would know, we should.
The cool part about recovery (scarey too) is that it pretty much requires us to move along, to grow, as people. As we mature, it is important to venture off to new things. Of course it would seem quite reasonable to have a support system in place that you find comforting. Just keep in mind how important it is to balance things out for yourself. Moderation is important with anything, even support systems.

Try venturing out and meeting some people in real life situations. Do things you may not normally do. You really have nothing to lose. You may find it very gratifying.
