%ADDICTIVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP FULFILLMENT MEMORY 900508

     It is  a mistake to assume that  addictive   personal
relationships are devoid of joy,  meaning and fulfillment;
and  that  all memories of them will be  negative.    Even
intensely  addictive  personal relationships  may  involve
some aspects which are experienced and remembered as being
very  positive  in comparison with  previous  experiences.
Upon  recovery from addictive ways of being and acting  it
is  possible,   however,  to recognize that  even  in  the
positive  aspects of an addictive relationships there were
some  features  which are prone to lead participants  into
troublesome situations and dilemmas.  Even then,  however,
the paradox may remain.

     It  is misleading to believe that the paradox can  be
resolved and dispelled via a perfect understanding of what
is  good  and what is evil.    An attempt  to  achieve (in
reality  or  pretense)   such a  perfect  understanding is
likely itself to be an expression of addictive tendencies.
The desire for such knowledge of good and evil is said  to
have driven Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden.
