Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
I have this in my history. Does anyone else?
I am finding it popping up in my current relationship, and instead of giving into his demands, I am calling him on them and making effort to be aware of this. I still have a ways to go. I mean I like sex, too. It's just when sex is used to replace intimacy it is not healthy, when it is a bond when the relationship is not doing well, it is not healthy.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think ANY process can become an addiction, and do not think there is a question about it. It could be work, internet, cleaning, sex. We can become addicted to anything.
