Addicted too?

"Many women [and men] who love too much also eat too much or spend too much.  Addictions aren't discrete entities; they overlap in their physical and emotional roots.  In fact, recovery from one addiction may actually cause another addiction to accelerate. 

"Fortunately, the same steps for recovery apply equally well to all addictions." - Robin Norwood in Daily Meditations for Women Who Love Too Much

Many codependents of addicts find that their co-addiction is also an addiction.  Enabling behaviors that are hurtful for one person is hurtful for the other.
