Hi let me introduce myself. I have been co-dependate on people that are bad for me and I know it sounds crazy, but I slowly throw away anything good for me as I replace it with all things bad. I have never had a craving for drus or alchol and can put it down whenever without withdrawls. But I can not stop this self distrucion. I have started with group therepy and one on one counseling yesterday and I have my next group tomarrow. I am just looking for good people and good things for me so I can learn that I don't have to destroy my life to feel normal. I am the drama queen but it's underlying uintil it all blows up! Dose anyone understand me? I feel like my dependency is rather stupid cause when i try to talk to people about it no one ever knows what to say. Where as if you are aa na oa and so forth there seems to be answers in people books and everything! Anyway just thought I'd join in. You guys seem likea really helpful and nice crowd to get involved in.

Welcome to SR and you have told some of my story even though I am a drug addict and alke and sex addict (not had any of that for a long time LOL) but whatever makes us feel good we turn tooo. I used to feel that I had to be the bride at every wedding and the corps at every funeral but today I try to be me, just another addict trying to recover, I hope that you keep posting.

Love Vic

I'm just realizing I'm addicted to damn near everything, so I hear ya. AA/NA/SA/GA...One would think being Addicted to Love (like the Robert Palmer song) wouldn't be such a bad thing. O it surely is.

Addicted to Love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
