I was told in one of my psychology classes that relationships act in the same way as a powerful drug on ones senses. That individuals experience the same symptoms at the endpoint of a long term relationship or marrage as they would while trying to kick a heroin addiction. Your body must go from the constant and expnoentially high levels of chemicals which produce feelings of love, adoration, pulchritude, and acceptance to the complete lack of, or opposite.
Depression, feelings of being physically ill, long periods of sleepless nights, loss of appetite, difficulty focusing, little to no motivation. etc.
I guess what I am trying to say is that, this being the case I may have to watch myself because I could be walking down the path of a severe case of alcoholism. . . It could also be true that I'm in the "denial" phase.
But when my drink of choice tastes this good and leaves me feeling as though every ounce of negativity in the world has been obliterated and replaced with something that can only be closely related to that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when Eddie Valiant enters Toon Town for the first time how could I not have let this addiction consume me.
For those of you who know me well, you know that my consumption of that which I enjoy is in excess of improportionate degrees and this situation is no different. I just hope this bottle remains bottomless and, unlike many things in my life, I don't have to worry about it ever running out.
