Healthy Behaviours
I joined CoDA over a year ago, though I am not sure of the exact
date. I was already in another 12-step programme, I had a firm and loving
relationship with a higher power, and I had support, and that had given me some
recovery. That recovery allowed me to see that I had problems that came from my
dysfunctional childhood and were affecting my relationships.
The programme I was in was helping with those issues to an
extent, and I was not sure that I could manage to work two programmes together.
So, I flirted with CoDA at first, reading bits of the literature, attending an
odd meeting, and it wasn't until I realised that more and more of my time was
spent trying to work out how to deal with a particularly distressing
relationship that I began to work CoDA in earnest.
I cannot imagine not having CoDA in my life now, I have gained
so much recovery. The Recovery Patterns of Codependence document has been such
a useful tool, showing me what healthy behaviour looks like. I know what to aim
for now! I am currently working the Steps and I am planning a big change to my
life, which would not have been possible without what I have learned from CoDA,
because now I know how to deal with fear.
