Publisher's summary

Love addiction manifests in many forms, from fatal attraction-type obsessive lust to less extreme but nonetheless psychologically and emotionally harmful forms. The most common of these is staying in a bad relationship because of a fear of being alone - the "I hate you but don't leave me" relationship. 

In Addiction to Love, recovering love addict Susan Peabody explains the variety of ways this disorder plays out, from the obsessively doting love addict to the addict who can't disentangle from an unfulfilling, dead-end relationship. 

Peabody provides an in-depth and easy-to-follow recovery program for those suffering from this unhealthy and often dangerous addiction and explains how to create a loving, safe, and fulfilling relationship.

Fantastic Book for Love Addicts

If you’re looking to find the root causes of your love addiction, symptoms, and easy instructions this is your book. I’ve been in and out of love addiction recovery for many years and for whatever reason this book finally hit home. The stories are great. Be prepared to uncover some truths about yourself and let the healing begin.

Not that helpful

To tell people to pretty much just get over it is not helpful. If they already had willpower it would not be a problem. It’s a rare addict that can just decide to stop a behavior.

Meh

Couldn't finish it. Talked of so many scenarios that by this authors standards everyone on the planet is a love addict and in an unhealthy relationship.

Couldn’t get past the first chapter and audible wouldn’t let me return it. What a waste.

Way critical and not useful to my journey. Not what the title suggests at all.
