Through cutting I got addicted to drinking human blood. The problem with doing fantasy type stuff involving dangerous things is it can make it harder to resist going further. As much as I love drinking blood, for me, it has the same risks and consequences as abusing alcohol and drug addictions with sharing needles. Once I start, the 'need' feeling becomes so overwhelming that I'm willing to take more and more risks to get my drink of choice. I started going to a 12 step program and go to Alcoholics Anonymous (it's not like I can find a blood drinkers anonymous) and refer to it as drinking and work the steps. I'm open with my doctor and therapist and I try to stay away from triggering things that feed the blood need, because although they give me a bit of a fix, I'm an addict, and once (or a little) is never enough. I come from a long line of addicts, so I know not everyone will be as prone to addiction as I am. Just remember it's a slippery slope.
