Is it possible to be addicted to a person? I dated someone for several years and I let him become my whole life. Without him, I have nothing. But, we do not work together as a couple, at all. I know that we cannot be together. However, though we break up, we always end up missing each other so much that we get back together. He has hurt me so many times. Everyone tells me to just stop talking to him. But I have tried it so many times, and I cannot help but to go back to him. I don't want to love him anymore, and I want to move on with my life. Please don't tell me to stop cold turkey and leave it at that. Please give me SOMETHING I can actually do. I cannot do this anymore.

Hey Apple,
To me it sounds like what I went through with one of my past ex's, we were on and off so many times but she kept on hurting me I felt like nothing I did was ever going to end up helping me. In the end it was my friend who did an intervention and stopped me from seeing her blocked her phone number and myspace Facebook, etc.. He stayed with me and talked to me and introduced me to new people and distracted me. The next time she contacted me I told her to not talk to me anymore and she should stop ruining my life. So to answer your question yes it is possible to be addicted to being with a person but you can break a habbit so start a new one.

Unfortunately, as in all addictions, the hardest way is the best way. Cold turkey, my friend.

I recommend sitting down and writing a pro-con list on your relationship. You'll find that the cons outweigh the pros.

Yes, addictions are hard to break, but they can be broken. You simply must decide to break it.
