4.0 out of 5 stars It helped me immensely after my divorce, 22 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Break Your Addiction (Mass Market Paperback)

I came across this book in a book shop by coincidence four years ago. I had just been divorced from my husband of 19 years. I was feeling hurt, and lonely. I had very low self esteem. I could not move on although I desparately wanted to. When I saw the title of this book, I thought it had nothing to do with me, because I was too proud to admit that I was addicted to my ex-husband. I spent an hour in the book shop going back to this book a few times. In the end I bought it. I convinced myself that it was cheap and I could throw it away after a few pages. As I read it, I was amazed to discover that I was actually 'addicted'. Halfway through the book, I had the courage to let go off my old relationship. A few months after that, I met a gorgeous man and fell in love. We have been together since then.

This book helped me bury my old relationship and move on. I have been recommending this book to all my friends who find it difficult to cope with a relationship break up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, gives lots of understanding !, 19 Dec 2004

By A Customer

I read this book out of desperation. I bought this book to help me to completely let go of my past relationship with a man. Thing with me is that he actually left over 3 years ago, but i still get annoyed and hurt by what he did to me. I bought this book to help me understand what my problem is.

The book is very clear and simple to understand and gives examples of different types of attachments which sometimes lead to addiction. It also gives examples of different people and the way they feel about their partners. I think i was deffinately addicted to my ex. I have read this book once and it did make a lot of sense. I will read it again and do the practices in there. No book is a cure, but this is the only book i have read that made sense to me and actually showed what my attachment to my ex actually was. I recommend this book to anyone who is stuck in a relationship that is causing them too much pain yet they cannot leave and also to those people whose relationships have ended but they are still thinking about the past and not being able to move forward. It will help but the rest is upto us. We must be strong !

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the tin ..., 29 May 2005

By A Customer

It is so rare to find a self help book that does exactly what it claims to do. But this one does. If, like me, you have been trying for years to break free from a relationship that you knew was wrong for you, but somehow cannot bring yourself to take that final step, buy this book. Finally, I was able to do what I needed to do. The book is very helpful at explaining some of the reasons why you might be addicted - when you recognise, and admit to those, you are half way there to making the break. But the book is not just about ending a relationship. Wisely, it acknowledges that there may be good things in the relationship, but that they will not become clear to you unless you learn to see the person as a whole human being, and not just the object of your addiction. The author is wise, without being judgemental. If you've worked your way through books like Robin Norwood's "Women who love too much", and recognised yourself in them, but still not been able to break free, try this book.
