Love addiction comes in many forms. Some love addicts
carry a torch for unavailable people. Some love addicts obsess when they
fall in love. Some love addicts get addicted to the euphoric effects of
romance. Others cannot let go of a toxic relationship even if they are
unhappy, depressed, lonely, neglected or in danger. Some love addicts are
codependent and others are narcissistic. Some love addicts use sex to
manage feelings; others are sexually anorexic. What we all have in common
is that we are powerless over our distorted thoughts, feelings and
behavior when it comes to love, fantasies and relationships.
Still, there is hope. We are a fellowship of men and
women whose common purpose is to recover from our unhealthy dependency on
love—as it plays out in our fantasies and relationships. The only
requirement for membership in LAA is a desire to work toward recovery.
There are no dues or fees; we are self-supporting through our own
contributions. Our primary purpose is "to offer a safe place to recover
from love addiction and to carry the message of recovery to those who
still suffer." Through self-honesty, open-mindedness, willingness, and
the 12-steps of LAA, we can recover. We can do together what we cannot do
alone. We can grow and change in the sunlight of the spirit. Welcome to
LAA!
