When I was actively acting out in my addiction, my anxiety was through the roof on a daily basis. Although I have a tendency to idealize relationships after they are over, I should have remembered that the one with my most recent qualifier was horrible almost from the beginning. But because of euphoric recall, I had forgotten that knowledge. Yesterday, a conversation came up in my Timehop from a year ago that gave me positive confirmation of this fact.
I was talking with a close friend, asking how she was. She asked how I was and I said not good, my anxiety was through the roof because I had just started talking to a new relationship prospect. I met my most recent qualifier on June 18 and by June 27, I was riddled with anxiety. While I miss the physical relationship and touch of a man, I do not in any way, shape, or form miss that level of anxiety and I thank God everyday that it's out of my life. Never again will I go back! One day at a time...
My name is Lisa Marie and I am a recovering love and sex addict. This blog details my recovery and other pertinent information I choose to post. I credit my recovery and sobriety to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. The experience, strength, and hope that I have been blessed to receive has made my recovery possible. I am beyond grateful!
