I have just realized that love addiction is my primary addiction. The drugs the food the gambling all stem from this. I have been obsessed about relationships since I was a child. How this has affected my life and robbed me of so much thought and potential. I never realized till I was sitting in an NA meeting and it flashed before me. At the same time the thought of recovery and working steps makes me fearful. Acknowledging this problem. Does it mean I can never date again? Does it mean that this “relationship” I am in now has to end? I feel so lost and so scared to let go and finally begin work on this area of my life. Yet, I’m not even doing it for me. I’m doing it for him, to be healthy and have him. Wtf do I do.

Welcome to LAA. You ask good questions. Yes, you will date again. LAA has a dating plan. Yes, you might have to give up your current partner if he or she is not good for you. It depends on your circumstances. Take care.
