I Am a Love Addict Stories of Experiences

I need a boy who can be there for me when im alone
I need a boy that will send me cute goodmorning and goodnight texts
I need a boy that will support me and love me for who I am
I need a boy that will hold me in his arms when I need to...

Night owl soaring lonely and perching

on each new yellow bird

Where are you going to lie tonight?

Love costs more than your willing to spare

Your soul belongs to the universe

but feathers and soft flesh you'll easily share...

I always fancied myself to be the rescuer. Coming to save a "damsel in distress" and earning her love. I guess that is the root of it, I felt like I was unlovable if I did not have some grand gesture to prove that I was not worthless...

Here is a very incomplete list of things that I confuse with real love...

physical intimacy (with or without sexual intimacy)
dependency
obsession
neediness
premature emotional or physical attachment
being "in a relationship"
romantic...

I am a love addict.
I've probably been a love addict since my childhood. Since I've been working the LAA program, I've had the opportunity to look back at my past relationships and see that I was addicted to all of them in one way or...

far far away =(

Distance may cause many tears
And it may also bring fear
But if our love is clear
It will never disappear
Whether we are far or near
We will persevere
For with a love deep and sincere
We will always be each...

It came in the mail and it doesn't have a title on the cover lol..It's pretty long...I'll let you know how it goes :)

So with my long relationship history and from stories I have heard, I have gathered up a list of Red Flags to be wary of when you are dating or have met a new Special Someone. Red Flags don't mean you shouldn't date or care for a person...

Was there a time when I wasn't addicted? I'm not sure... My parents didn't show their love, or honestly maybe they didn't love me. Food was my source of solace and comfort as a child. I spent my childhood depressed and angry and mean...

Sometimes they say your strengths are your weaknesses. My love for other people has been a reason for living. Recently a friend told me she thinks I love everyone, and I laughed, and said it's true. It's not cheesy, it's like my spirit...

One of the traits of love addiction is a holy terror of being rejected or abandoned. So we stick to one person for a bit, then get disillusioned by their negative points, and run away before they see our negative points...I want to be...

I don't know how to stop getting involved with men i have no business getting involved with, breaking people's hearts because i am too terrified to get too close...well let's see... i was married once for a few years, then left him for...

Hi so I have been checking out sites such as loveaddicts.org and www.slaafws.org (and I even bought the book!) and it is recommending avoiding dating for about 6 months. This makes me feel calmer because it gives me a sort of short time...

I have many issues with myself but it wasn't until a few days ago that I realized I have a problem with love. I didn't know what to call it but have now found its name. I've scheduled an appointment to see someone to discuss this...

It wasnt until i tried to commit suicide that i relized that i was a love addict. Now looking back it all makes sense though, everything that i have been through in the last year. Me and my husband have been going through a seperation...

I'm happily married, perfect husband n kids but for some reason I feel this pull towards another man who by the way does not reciprocate my feelings. Thank god for that! Anyways I constantly think of him n is becoming exhausting to b...

Every relationship I have been in has been dysfunctional in some way but I stayed because I wanted as much attention and/ or love as I could get. I'm wiser now than I used to be and no longer use sex to get attention or love from the...

I like to re-read old entries in my journal. It helps me gauge where I am, if I'm learning from my mistakes, or making the same mistakes over and over. There was a period of about five or six months where I was absolutely miserable...

I enter into relationships without thinking too far ahead...all I know for now, is that I want them, and I will do anything to make him stay. This behavioral pattern has taken things from me...like who I am, my self-respect, my...

The origins of my love addiction stem from my feelings of abandonment from my father. My parents are still married but growing up my father was always working long hours and when he would finally make it home he would take a shower and...
