The Adversary
Love Addicts must beware of the Adversary. What is that? It is the negative voice within us which works against us-—also known as the Inner Critic. What does the Adversary say? He/She . . . Speaks against our recovery; Tells us we are not worthy; Tells us to act out some way; Tells us that unavailable people will change; Tells us life is not worth living without romantic love or some person. Tells us it is all hopeless; There is no recovery; Tells us we will never be able to recover; The negative chatter goes on an on. What can you do about the Adversary? Talk back; Stand up to the voice; Superimpose the truth over the voice; The truth is just the opposite of what the voice is telling you;
Ask others in recovery for a second opinion; Let your loving Higher Power have the final say.

I know a few other names for him, too, but the tactics are always the same....
