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...
Its been 2 weeks since my big revelation, that i am indeed codependent. I'm a rather quick study and immediatly bought the book and worked to change my behavior. Small steps indeed but they seem to have had the biggest change in my relationship with my husband. 3 weeks ago I was gonna give this marriage until March to see if it could work or not. things are MUCH better. No fighting AT ALL in 2 weeks which has to be a record in our 10 year reationship. Today we have been Christmas shopping with the kiddos, harmonious day. I even rec'd an unsolicited hug and i love you. I want to be happy about the change but I don't trust it. Is this normal, me not trusting it? How long before i am confident in everyone's behavior, mine included.

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...
ah grasshopper, the $10 million question! we all want to know when we can trust it, why not start right now?
everyday it gets a bit more "normal".....
just keep practicing these new behaviors...fake it til ya make it.
you are doing beautifully.
it's amazing how things change when we change, huh?
way to go!
and really, the only thing we can safely trust is our ability to handle what the universe throws at us, right?
xo!
Congrats!!!
when we accept that how we feel is "just for today" and what we think is "just for today" then we know the good times are fleeting and enjoy them more.
we know the bad times are fleeting and are able to chase them away a bit faster.
one day you will realize "hey! i'm trusting! i'm not even questionning it!" and that will feel soooo good.
we grow in fits and starts. it's not a smooth line and the growth doesn't end.
but you are growing, you are asking all the right questions of yourself....
just for today you are right where you should be, and that is enough!!!
