coco11 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Hi...I went through treatement 2 yrs ago for alchoholism. I have been sober for 2 yrs which I am proud of but I feel like I just switched my drug of choice. I am married and I met a married man in treatment, neither one of our spouses has chosen to be a part of our recovery so were together a lot at meetings. It was instant attraction and I totally was obsessed with him. We had an affair knowing that he and his family was moving out of the country soon. He is gone but still calls me once a week from Europe. I have since emailed him and told him to stop calling since I needed to let this part of my past go and stop thinking about him all the time but he has ignored it and still calls. When I see his number on my phone I have no control and pick it up. I think about him all the time to where it is insane!! I know it is an addiction because I seriously don't want to be with this man....just physically. Please give me some advice...do I need to do a 12 step program on a person? Is this possible? Thanks for any help out there.
What? Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 If you were strong enough to stop the booze, you need to gather up the strength to stop this guy. If you know you don't want to be with him emotionally, he will never satisfy you no matter how good the physical part is. Stop answering. Move on.
