<<How does one recover from that addiction? Seems harder to recover from "other man attention" than it is alcohol?
MC, the only way I did it was weekly intense cognitive behavior therapy. My Doc had to constantly remind me that OM attention has not been in my best interest in the past, & that it's not what I'm really craving anyway. It's a false love substitute. I want the real thing.
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
