Addiction

No, not cocaine–relationships. I made a new year resolution to not have any relationships this year. What a fool I was. Or am.

Marriage anyone? I have been warned of my addiction, but I. Can’t. Stop.

“Go to therapy”, one friend cautioned. And exasperated sighs from another. Can I rationalize this? I didn’t feel any love growing up as a child (I did). I don’t have any friends (I have plenty). I’m emotionally hungry (I’m flooded with emotion. More than I can handle). I’m lonely (artists are lonely: creation in isolation)

The first step is acceptance. “I admitted that I’m powerless over relationships, that my life had become unmanageable”.

From NA to AA to RA, I’m back where I started. Lord help me.
