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...

When I'm in a funk that is hard for me to figure out - it helps to remind myself that much of the recovery process is really a grieving process. I believe we grieve so much for the many losses that addicts (of many different shades) have to deal with. Loss of love, loss of family - some of the most fundamental things that are necessary for proper human development.
In my meditation book "The Language of Letting Go", it talked about grief in stages - similar to death and dying. Phase 1 - denial, 2 - anger, 3 - bargaining, 4- sadness, 5 - acceptance. It mentioned that a lot of codependents get stuck in the denial phase.
This was good for me today - just wanted to share.

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 just have to tread lightly and take the middle of the road. God's road. One day at a time.
There is a long list Tigpie. For me, sometimes it can be hard to decipher what feelings I'm processing and why. Although I can't always see the grieving while it's happening, I can acknowledge that it's happening. It will be made clear in time. And it gets clearer, whenever I accept what I'm going through.
