Beginning Recovery

I am beginning my recovery and just found out I am a
codependent. But I am so happy to find that out! I am so happy to finally know who I am,
and, better than that, to know that I can improve myself and be a whole person again. When
I first read the characteristics of a codependent on the website, I felt completely at
home. I used for so many years sex to feel loved. And I never knew the difference between
codependence and love… this was sad, I was afraid I would never know the difference! But
now I know I will, and CoDA will help me.
I attend Alanon meetings on a regular basis. I started to go after a relationship I had with
an alcoholic in recovery. But since the first time I heard about CoDA, I knew it was for
me. For years I knew I was codependent, I just did not know there was a group for me out
there. I didn’t even know there was people like me out there! It’s such a relief to find
out I am not alone…

Thanks!
