Kindly keep me anonymous I am a recovering love addict. It's not an easy thing to admit, but it's a journey that I know I need to take. I've been in countless relationships, jumping from one to another, always searching for that feeling of being wanted and loved. I couldn't get enough. But it wasn't until my last relationship that I realized I had a problem. I met him online and we hit it off right away. He was charming, attentive, and everything I thought I wanted. I was hooked. But as the months went by, I started to notice that I was always the one reaching out, always the one planning dates, always the one trying to make things work. And when things inevitably fell apart, I was left feeling empty and alone, yet again. It was then that I realized that I had been using relationships as a crutch, a way to fill a void within myself. I had never truly learned how to love and accept myself, so I was constantly searching for validation from others. It was a tough pill to swallow, but it was the wake-up call I needed. I've been on this journey for a few months now and it hasn't been easy. I've had to face some hard truths about myself and my past, but it's been worth it. I'm learning to love and accept myself, to set boundaries and not settle for less. And while I know I still have a long way to go, I'm taking it one day at a time. I know that my story might be hard to relate to, but it's important for me to share. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that we're all human and we all have our struggles. And if my story can help even one person, then sharing it will have been worth it.

Reece It's refreshing to see a real, raw confession like this. It takes a lot of courage to share your story and I hope it helps others to feel less alone.

Reece This post hits close to home for me. Being a love addict is a hard road but it's important to remember that it's not something to be ashamed of and it's important to seek help.
