My boyfriend broke up with me 3 weeks ago after spending the last 5 months long distance when he moved to Cali.. I am 27 he 36. Needless to say I spent months LITERALLY filled with anxiety, panic, sorrow, grief, loss, depression, alcohol–you name it. I think about him and grieve for him every single day—in fact, hourly, minutely, and almost every second even!! I’ve had dates (quite a few) and am not interested in any of the men I have dated. It is like I am obsessed with my ex and I can’t let go of hoping, wanting, needing, longing, and praying that someday he will call me and ask me to come back. Everytime the phone rings I say a little prayer and then am instantly crushed when it’s not him. What is this obsession with having to HAVE him. It’s almost like addiction and withdrawal. Can people become addicted to other people and WHY do we? What makes us so utterly and adamantly totally addicted to another person that we cannot see past the loss of them?
How can stop the addiction?
-who had the same first name as an immediate family member (mom,dad,brother,sister) ?
-who ONCE had a drug/alcohol problem/addiction,but is now “cured”?
-who was a different religion than you?
-who had a NON-CONTAGIOUS disease and may die within six months?
just a random poll. 
My husband just spent three days in a detox unit for alcohol addiction, and all he has done today is sleep, and he has been giving me the cold shoulder. Is this normal behavor?
Are You Living With An Addicted Person?
Addiction. Addictive agents are those persons or things in which we form an excessive dependency (1).
Are you living with an addicted person? If you answered yes to that question then you are part of about half of the U.S population, but congratulations. You are among the group that is not still in complete denial.

Will having friends and family’s support really make a difference for the patient? My uncle is going to go through inpatient rehabilitation so that he can get treated for his alcohol addiction. The thing is, his family’s not being supportive. They look at him as a disgrace. I was just wondering if this may have an effect on him and if it would be better if he has their support.
My husband is getting out of a 6 month drug rehab program on Friday. I want to know if it is ok to allow him to drink alcohol or not. Alcohol was never a problem for him, cocaine was his only addiction. I do not drink very often. I will maybe have 1 or 2 drinks every couple of months. I just wanted to know if I should ban all alcohol from our home? I just need some guidance on this one. Serious, helpful answers please.
Best treatment for alcohol addiction person from alcohol rehab.
Alcohol rehab
People who regularly consume alcohol suffer from health problems such as liver disease, chronic pancreatitis, gastritis, cardiovascular and neurological problems. Alcohol abuse may even lead to cancer and a painful death. Those who have difficulty in moderating drinking, neglect daily activities and show physical symptoms of withdrawal are in need of alcohol rehab.
The treatment program chosen for alcohol rehab should fit the specific needs of the addict. If an incorrect evaluation is made at the initial stage, then the chances for failure heighten. There are varying degrees of alcohol abuse. Some individuals may have a history of many failed attempts to end their abuse pattern. These patients are suitable for in patient residential treatment. Long-term inpatient alcohol rehab programs are conducted over a period of three to six months and provide the addict with a change of environment as well as care. However, if an individual has only a short history of abuse, then outpatient treatment or counseling may suffice.

I know there are people out there who would say that the person has to hit rock bottom first, that he has to do it on his own… But I have heard of cases wherein the addict was forced to undergo addiction treatment, and that worked well. I just want to convince my sister to get herself treated for her alcohol addiction.
I was just wondering about this since the smokers I know also drink excessively. Is there really a connection between smoking and drinking alcohol?
