If you have an addictive personality, are you just wired for addiction...to anything?

Yes, you can be addicted to a person and I do believe that if you have an addictive personality you can have problems with many types of addiction. Check out Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous for more information on love addiction. Here is the link You are not alone. | Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous

Oh yes. I believe I am hard wired and can become addicted to anything. In early sobriety love addiction became a problem. It can all be overcome but it takes hard work and diligence.

I feel like what I'm struggling with the most is my addiction to my abuser. I know myself to have an addictive personality anyway, so this revelation came as no real surprise. What I am really in pain about is not having the contact, the time, the *whatever* it was that I got from him...which is pretty much the same reaction to a drug-of-choice.
And the steps in recovery are very similar, it seems! |

In my step work, I am definitely including this person as something I am addicted to. I am heartbroken I will never get to spend time with him again. There are not words to say how hurt, lonely, empty, completely gutted and abandoned I feel. The pain is now a dull ache but it is still there. I feel it will never go away unless he comes back.
