Hormone of Love

Oxytocin is the so-called hormone of love. Is the bonding chemical that is released during sexual orgasm in men and women... Today I was hanging out with my friend T.J. and he said to me that I'm having withdrawal symptoms, literally. He explained that when we fall in love/love someone our oxytocin levels arise; therefore we have that "feel good" sensation, and when we break-up with someone we love the oxytocin levels fall because we no longer have the stimulation (Him) that releases the hormone... "you have a broken heart emotionally and withdrawal symptoms scientifically..." Of course as soon as I came back home google it and found a lot information/studies related to oxytocin... I'm guessing that I really have no business in drinking right now; I'm usually a happy drinker, but right now alcohol is taking me to dark places I don't like... and then to have alcohol withdrawal on top of the oxytocin withdrawal!!! not fun! So I am going to try not to drink as much... I know I should say AT ALL, but that would not be realistic really, my will it's a little weak at the moment... In fact what I should be doing is getting me a prescription for oxytocin!!!... wouldn't be awesome?!
