Is It Love or Is It Addiction?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A "MUST" reading for anyone who is in recovery, whether it is from substances or activities (sex, eating, gambling). I would also recommend this book highly to Addiction Counselors and Sponsors who are dealing with Addictive Lovers. Learning to identify the characteristics of addictive love will help both counselors and those on the road to recovery. Once you can identify the addictive elements of your own and others' relationships you can plan how to change them and how to build on the healthy aspects of those relationships. Excellent writing, good case examples.
BRILLIANT!

Well written, explains the reasons behind the toxic codependent dynamics, how to recognise them, and how to heal. A MUST HAVE!
One of the most important books I've ever read

I initially bought this book because I wondered if being in love was just an addiction. But I learned so much more than that. This book should be helpful for practically everyone. It talks about how our love relationships are related to unmet needs from childhood. It described my parents relationship almost exactly and I see how it affected me. It was amazing that anyone knew all this stuff.
Very Helpful

Not only discusses the symptoms, but also walks you through some steps to stop it, and to work through it. A wonderful book. I keep it on my bedside and consult it frequently even though I have read it cover to cover.
An excellent resource for addicts who want real love!

I can't believe I am the first one to review this book! After struggling with addictions of all sorts for years (including alcohol, drugs, sex, and love addiction), I finally determined why I kept sabotaging my relationships with women. My compulsive search for something to help me feel less pain came from my childhood, and this book was the stepping stone that helped me see that there was hope to overcome this tricky addiction, seek help, and learn to love myself and others with authenticity. I highly recommend this book to any alcoholic, chemically dependent or sexually addicted person. There is hope for a relationship without painful addictive behaviors, and this book will help you find that hope!
