I have to say, after leaving God in the dust and trying to deal with my emotional problems and love addiction myself for years without including god, and the enriching strength it has given me to go back to God the past year and a half.... it is a huge difference. I started out going back to church because I hit rock bottom and realized I could not handle my addiction on my oun, It didn't happen over night... but after going to some retreats and surrendering myself to a higher power, things are getting better slowly and are much more meaningful to me.
I have a new sense of self worth and know that God made me special, as he did every one of us. For a purpose and I also found that even though I feel the "need" to have love from someone give me my identity and my survival..... I don't NEED it from a specific person.... I get my validation and my needs met by God. I know a lot of times it isn't the same, and I still have days where I feel abandoned and useless and need people to make me feel like I am worth anything.... but it is a work in progress and going back to my faith makes a huge difference in my healing, a slow and positive work in progress.
