So, since I started pursuing Madison, I've been of the inclination that if I find someone with whom I connect well, I'm open to the possibility of a relationship.

I concur with most of "that my way of abandoning interest when I find that I can't get my fix there is only indicative of how little progress I've really made since September/October/whenever this all began." That is very addict controlled behavior. However, you REALIZED it. Which is a much bigger step then you may think. So I disagree with "how little progress" part.
IMO, I think you should take a look at your "finding a deeper connection" part. It seems to me you are searching for that connection, but upon not quickly finding it or finding out the person you've been 'watching' (key word there, watching) is with someone, then you abandon all hope and wont even pursue a friendship with that person.
This is an extreme example, but look at Mike and me. Had i or Mike been doing what you are doing we would have never gotten together. The connection we had we built upon the simple base of having seen each other during a play. The deep emotional connection came later and just kind of snuck up on us as we started to establish a friendship. Most instances wouldnt be that extreme because most people look for a few basic connections that Mike and I dont have. Hobbies, food, idea of a great evening. Anyway there's a point there but since I cant think of a way to say it all in one sentance you got a paragrahp. lol
