Love Addiction My Road to Recovery

I’ve promised to tell how I got in and then got out of love addiction, codependency, domestic violence, and destructive relationships. I’ll talk about S first.

I didn’t know S for more than five hours when he said he loved me and wanted to be with me forever. That should’ve been a red flag, but I was so disillusioned with my relationship with D, his words were the balm my rejected heart needed. D wasn’t into words. S was. D wasn’t into reading, writing, philosophy. S was. To him, I was the smartest, kindest, most beautiful, loving person he’d ever seen. I felt empowered, validated, and fell for him like he was a rock star and I was his groupie.

But I didn’t know S had other lovers that would come way before me. Crack. Meth. Powdered cocaine. Pills. Pot. Booze. Anything except heroin.
And our mutual addiction served to nearly end us both as people.
