Sex Addiction
Are you or someone you know concerned about your sexual behavior?
Has your sexual behavior ever created problems for you, your family, and/or your job?
Do you hide some of your sexual behavior from others?
Do you often worry about sexual thoughts?
Has sex (or romantic fantasies) been a way for you to escape your problems?
Have you made efforts to stop doing sexual activity and failed?
Then it may be that you have a sexual addiction. Take the free sex addiction screening (SAST) here: http://www.recoveryzone.com
Love Addiction
When you are lonely and looking for companionship, do you lower your standards and settle for less than you want or deserve?
Have you repeatedly gotten involved with someone unable to commit—hoping he or she will change?
Once you have bonded with someone, do you feel you can’t let go?
When you are attracted to someone, do you ignore all the warning signs that this person is not good for you?
When a relationship ends, do you feel your life is over, and more than once you have thought about suicide because of a failed relationship?
Do you try very hard to be who your partner wants you to be and will do anything to please him or her—even abandon yourself (sacrifice what you want, need, and value)?
Do you have a high tolerance for suffering in relationships and are willing to suffer neglect, depression, loneliness, dishonesty—even abuse—to avoid the pain of separation anxiety (what you feel when you are not with someone you have bonded with)?
Then it may be you have a love addiction or unhealthy relationship behaviors worth spending time examining with a therapist.
