Addiction After a Breakup or Bad Relationship.”
Nothing affects your life more than a romantic relationship, especially if you are living with your partner. People often refer to their romantic partners as their ‘other half,’ and in ideal couples each person’s talents and weaknesses are nearly perfectly balanced by the talents and weaknesses of their partner.
After a breakup in an addict-focused relationship, you may find that your desire for the drug actually increases because you are alone, sad, and feeling all those terrible emotions that come with the end of even a bad relationship. You may turn back to the drug because it reminds you of ‘the good times’ when the two of you were high together, because the drug takes the edge off your emotional pain, or simply because physical addiction starts to cause withdrawals and you instinctively reach for another dose. It’s all too easy to slip into a depressive addiction cycle where you seek to blank your mind or simply access the drug over and over again in the midst of the post-breakup depression. This is the most dangerous phase of all because you’re at such a high risk of accidentally overdosing or losing track of the rest of your life.
