Dear Abigail, we are truly BLESSED to have you on steemit. Your posts are always awakening and enlightening!!! Thank you really! My avatar (a.k.a. your other "whole LOL) approves!!!
PS. Luckily, I didn't have any serious addictions in my life so far, except one case....a woman. She was my girlfriend for 14 months. I was DANGEROUSLY addicted to her for the last 6 of them. Through her I can understand how severe an addiction can be for someone. Reason and logic lose any value when you are addicted to something or someone (in my case).
@tkappa, my other - cartoon - half! 😍 It is always nice to see you here.
I feel humbled by your kind words :) Thank you for contributing to this discussion with your addiction experience. I have a friend who became addicted to a man, who sadly never accepted the position of her boyfriend. This whole experience lasted nearly 2 years, and it took place over 15 years ago. It was very distressful and disrupting for everyone. When he finally told her they no longer could see each other, I virtually moved in with her as she fell physically ill. The way you concluded your comment reminds me very much of her behaviour back then, because she seemed to have lost all reason and logic!
I wish you a great weekend. Take care :)
