Ross Rosenberg discusses codependency/self-love deficit disorder addiction and how it fools people into believing their happiness is real. He explains how pathological narcissists exploit vulnerable codependents/SLD's by making them believe the initial false love can be brought back/rekindled.

"Drug Happiness" represents the codependent's belief that the Human Magnet Syndrome compelled "soulmate" experience is real and lasting. In truth, it is a temporary condition that disappears shortly after the beginning of the relationship. Pathological narcissists who are afraid of losing their SLD partner may try to re-enact the beginning of the relationship to make their partner believe in the drug happiness delusion.
