Love Addiction
Recovery from love addiction, relationship addiction
Love addicts: Is it love or love addiction?Relationship or love addiction is an unhealthy obsession of a person or of relationships with that person. Relationship addiction is a harmful compulsive behavior similar to addiction to drugs, virtual fortunetelling, gaming, etc. It is not true love. Love addiction involves behaviors and mental sets which push the true love away.
However, many people often mistake obsession for actual love, suggesting that they are love addicted. They believe that emotional pain, fear of being left alone and strong dependency on partner are the attributes of true love, whereas in reality these are love addiction symptoms.
Although a certain degree of love addiction is always present in any intimate relationship, some psychologists have discovered that love addiction is, sadly, more widespread than the true love.
The entire situation would’ve been hopeless, if there was no way to overcome love addiction. Fortunately, there are ways of love addiction recovery and to find real love. The recovery from love addiction would require your patience and will power, but remember, it is the right way to maintaining a positive and healthy relationship.
