Can you become addicted to love? - or a few words about codependency

Relationships in a relationship

I have been interested in the problem of codependency for many years. As part of my cooperation with the Alcohol and Co-Addiction Treatment Centre in Jaworzno, I conduct individual and group therapy for codependents. This problem, although not the same as the concept of love addiction, is closely related to this feeling and can lead to dependence on the person you love "above everything", even at the expense of your own health or life. And therein lies perhaps the greatest reason for the development of this type of addiction. As M. S. Peck: "Love is an act of will, or more precisely, both intention and action. The will involves the possibility of choice.". Thus, any form of human enslavement is not an expression of love but of addiction to it.
