About Me
I am a reading and language arts teacher. I have two children and have been married for 24 years to an alcoholic. I am a codependent. If you read Codependent No More, that is me. It's time to change and truly become codependent no more.

In therapy I've learned that you can't change another person, only yourself, so it's good that you start working on how to make yourself feel better. That YOU have control over. Good Luck.

Close Codependency
I was reading this website and I read about a person who just hadn't done anything. I have put myself in that situation. I live with an alcoholic and I have just built a wall around myself to protect myself. I haven't gone to church, I haven't read my Bible or any self-help books. I used to go to church and sew and get excited about things. I smile on the outside but feel empty on the inside. I'm hoping this is the first step to feeling good about and happy again. Susan

Close Shopping Addiction
My husband is an alcoholic and drug abuser. I know that I shop to fill the void that he doesn't fill. This is is something I need to work on. Shopping doesn't fill a need. It just has me in debt up to my eyebrows.
