When love becomes an addiction

I can relate. Unfortunately...

I'd been sober ten years when I got into a codependent relationship complete with denial, rationalization and obsessional thinking. Later, after a dose of Alanon, I saw the parallels completely. I drank/picked a crazy alcoholic in order to avoid dealing with feelings I didn't want to have (low self esteem, fear, etc.). Made them both my higher power and withdraw from both was pure hell. Now I'll take my own character defects any day over another alcoholic or booze.

Hugs and prayers,

Sometimes it's all one can do to keep it at bay.
