When love hurts, you may wonder about your choice of romanticpartners or risky sexual behaviors. Perhaps, like many others, you'reexperiencing the raw pain of an addictive relationship--the kindthat's painful to be in, yet seemingly impossible to leave. A profoundsense of emptiness can result. Repeatedly, you may feel pain, anger,and confusion rather than what you truly desire: closeness, warmth,and security. You may feel broken. The more you search for the comfort of closeness and safety, the deeper you sink into the quicksandof despair.As you read through the pages in this book, you will discover what happens when love and sex--our most primitive humanneeds--becomes a drug. This idea may be new to you. If you're inthe midst of recovering from other addictions, the concept may makesense but leave you asking, "What?

While this term maynot be one you would choose, that's okay. It's simply a name. Naminga problem is the first step toward healing. For a woman, healing fromlove and sex addiction requires an understanding of the disease from(1) an early rupture in attachment with your caregivers, and (2) patriarchal norms and expectations in culture.
