Hi wondering, I recommend you the book "codependent no more" by Melody Beatty.

Also look up "Evasion personality" in Google, I believe some people got so much pain inside they live in evasion: alcohol, drugs, women/men, videogames, food, gambling, all of the above..

My therapist has treated many addicts and she tells me AA for instance is for control and "maintenance" but real change only comes with therapy. Thus people can get sober but still have underlying issues (I think they call them "dry drunks") and often move on to other addictions like "relationships" -if you can call them that- or videogames or gambling or food... for her, addictions we can see in real life are just symptoms.

Might I gently suggest for you to go to a doc and check for STDs/HIV? just in case. Better safe than sorry.
