Well its been 2 months since my ex left me, and with each day I'm realizing that love truly is an addiction. Just like smoking, drinking, gambling etc its damn hard to quit once you're immersed in it.

 

I feel like I need a sponsor, to support me whenever I'm feeling really low and tempted to contact him. There's a devil on one of my shoulders and an angel on the other...the devil wants to hear his voice badly and the angel keeps reminding me otherwise. Who should I listen to???

I know what you mean, but I'd like to add that in my opinion, I think that NEED is the addiction here, and that PURE love does not necessarily lead to that addiction. It's the need for that person that tends to come with the love that causes the addiction.

Forget the angel and the devil. Listen to the good people here on LS.

 

Seriously, don't do it. You might feel a tiny bit better for a few seconds (or not at all even, depending on the situation), and then afterwards you'd feel ten gazillion times worse.

 

Do you want to feel ten gazillion times worse and push back your healing even farther out? NO!

 

Find a way to distract yourself. Anything at all. Get yourself away from the temptation! Be strong. You can do it.
