Love is an addiction | Guy Winch

Love is an addiction or a form of one. That's why the withdrawal of love is the form of withdrawal. Interesting. Look, first of all, we have services for people who go through substance abuse. There's a lot of medical care available. There are medications available. There's support available. Much less so for romantic heartbreak, especially if you're an adult, especially if you're older than your 20s, where you're supposed to be over it, where these things are for kids kind of thing. And so you find then that you're going through a ridiculously difficult experience and people are looking at you like, come on, it's been a week. Get over it. You know, and you would not say that to somebody who's, you know, coming off opioids.
