Have you ever revealed an addiction to something?

Serious replies only please. Have you ever had to reveal to a partner/sig other that you had an addiction to something, and it is something that would probably change your relationship in a negative way?

Any shared experiences would be appreciated either here or via PM.
 
I'm probably an alcoholic, but I'm still functioning, and I don't drink all that often yet.

However, when I usually drink, it's until I am in a stupor. Some may say it's because I'm drinking to forget.

Oh wait, you said revealed to a partner.

Fuck that, I don't reveal things to my wife. That's wierd.
 
Not addictive.. probably just more boring than anything. I probably watch too much repeat soft porn on Cinemax. But otherwise, can't help ya.
 
never addicted to "something" but was addicted to "someone".. my first husband, and he had an addiction to drugs.. crack. it ruined our marriage... whatever your situation, I wish you the best.
 
like what? drugs? gambling? alcohol? i am all of the above. once you admit it, prepare to be judged.....

I was a lot more sober when I wrote this.
 
I know why you hate me
doess anybody know the secret?
the combination to this life?
 
is this a cry for help? most people avoid those. just like crying rape. cry fire, and then they respond. because then they have stake in it, something to lose....

No, he got into drugs long after we were married I don't even know how it happened. We were together almost 10 years and it never faded it was allways new, we were totally in love, we were everything to eachother, I looked forward to waking up and seeing him every morning, his smile, his embrace, he made me laugh, we had fun, he was real.
so to answer your question- I was addicted to our love...he was my other half. We wanted to be with one another allways, It was thr greatest feeling on earth, to have someone you truely love and they feel the same, nothing like it.

ok gotcha!

i see that some relationships can be real addictive, the younger and inexperienced generation is much more voulnerable to to be addicted to each other for reasons other than love ie drugs.money, popularity ect
 
no, thank god.

it was always rather apparent that I had an obscure fondness for books, bed & bath products and glass toys...

I don't envy you.


I would imagine not telling them is the same as cheating yourself because if you really didn't want to tell them you would find a way to break the addiction - therefore altering or removing the necessity of revealing the addiction in the first place.
 
what about steroids? no one here addicted to those??? or per-for-mance en-han-cing drugs???? nobody????
 
I had a problem nobody knew about, checked myself in and got the help that I wanted.

So far, so good.
 
High sensation-seekers’ quest for new experiences leads some to the high-stress jobs society needs done but makes others vulnerable to reckless behavior.

The personality trait may have a biochemical basis as well. High sensation-seekers have lower levels of monoamine oxidase (MAO) type B, an enzyme involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine, according to Zuckerman’s book “Behavioral Expressions and Biosocial Bases of Sensation Seeking” (Cambridge University Press, 1994) and a research review chapter he wrote in the book “Biology of Personality and Individual Differences” (Guilford Press, 2006).

Moreover, research Zuckerman published with M. Neeb in Personality and Individual Differences (Vol. 1, No. 3, pages 197–206) in 1980 determined that sensation-seeking, which is higher in men than in women, peaks in the late teens and early 20s and gradually declines with age, along with levels of testosterone. MAO, which is low in high sensation-seekers, increases with age in the blood and brain

Crystal Meth. back in the day. but its really none of their business.I told her, but it honestly was years of abuse and I was on my way out of the darkness (of my own realisation of its dead end).

given another choice I would have preferred to keep that one to myself. been a fan of eating, sleeping, exercise and healthy body weight for a decade now.
 
i'll never tell a bitch i juice ever again

they usually suspect anyways, but best to not confirm it. they never get it.

i've had girls ask me or threaten to break up with me if i was juicing lololol. im like why, because i'd get more attention than YOU do?

if it's a drug or alcohol, then you're probably not going to able to hide it

if it's sex, gambling or even the internet they'll probably find out about it too

^^^that almost cost me dearly. i was able to get rid of the shit in time. luckily i had made friends with her friends who thought she was off her rocker and helped me out.
 
Not a chemical substance but still my reality so here goes.

As of December 31.2008 I quit shopping. Yeah, that's right. Shopping can be a shameful addiction too. I sort of fell into in because my ebay addiction went hand in hand with it. The more I bought the more I sold but I was keeping and hiding a lot too. I started to hide my shopping finds and it could have destroyed my marriage.

I always watch that show on a and e called "Intervention". Almost every episode it documents the drug addict driving around trying to score drugs. The sense of desperation they have to score their drug of choice is something I can relate with. when I would find an awesome bargain on something I knew I could sell for a lot of money or give to my kids I would literally get a huge high. I'd be giddy and so happy and then crash. Really screwed up.

Anyway, it all came to light when DH and I were working on our budget and he saw my paypal account. From Oct. to Christmas I ran about $10K through there and decided to quit cold turkey. Now I workout, plan meals, manage the household, read to my kids and look cute for hubby. Ohh yeah...and pass the time here on EF. So, yes, it's saved my marriage to overcome my shopping and selling addiciton.

HTH,
Molly
