yes! the same happened with my addiction to marihujana - that is - when I managed to accept the fact that I am addicted and truly spoke about my addiction, I started to recover and eventually I stopped craving!
So, maybe there are some parallels coz I can also say that my relation to my gf is from one perspective similar to an addiction (maybe it also surpasses my love at some point)... .all this care taking and nurturing that I give and all this magical loving I receive on good days... .all so turbulent and addictive when you feel lost... .
wow, so many things to think over... .thanx Greenmonkey
Talking to your addiction! That's awesome! A few years back I started having panic attacks, I started speaking to them for some reason. It really gave me a lot of insight into why I was working so hard (BPDw demanding more money) and why I couldn't get ahead in life. It started me on a true road to recovery.
