Good job Southernbelle! I found that I was the same way with alcohol. To use Eckhart Tolle's words it activated my pain body. I found myself feeling awful the next day-on both a mental and a physical level. I haven't had a drink since Dec 2014. I'm very proud of myself. I'm glad to see you noticing these things about yourself and making some changes. I also found that my tolerance for discomfort intially was tougher (especially when I was in social situations with people who like to drink) but overs time it has improved immensely. Keep it up!

I always knew it. Now we have proof. Limerence (scientific term for passion) is as addictive as cocaine. Check out this article.

Note: Relationship addicts do not experience this. They are addicted to the companionship to avoid loneliness rather than the passion. They may have started as a love addict and metastasized into a relationship addict.
