I
joined CoDA in September 2019, and that was my first experience with 12 Steps.
In CoDA I have learned about my codependent behaviors and how they are not who
I am. I have mourned the damage that my codependence has inflicted on my
children, my co-workers, and the suffering it has caused me.
I
can now identify my behaviors when I am in them or shortly afterwards. I now
look for internal validation. This has been and continues to be very
challenging for me. My initial reaction is to seek to have my needs met
externally. Now I know that I can meet my own needs. I am learning to let go
and to understand that not letting go is codependence.
My
tears for the damage I caused have dried up significantly and I am now working
the Steps and ready to put everything into healing. Step 3 has already been a
game changer. Thank you CoDA. I will keep coming back.
