Drugs, alcohol, and sick men were my addictions.
After I got clean/sober, I still hooked up with dysfunctional men because I wasn't ready to give that addiction up for several years, and you can throw sex in with that addiction.
Alanon was a lifesaver for me. Two books that have helped me immensely are "Codendent No More" by Melody Beattie (she has a whole series), and "Women Who Love Too Much" by Robin Norwood. I've also been in therapy off and on over the years.
My name is DeVon, and I was addicted to mood-altering men.
