Welcome to the group. I'm not a regular here but I visit often. I've been working on my codependency for four years now. I'm much better than I was but I still need help.
I'm not sure how supportive this group is, nobody has replied to my post today! I just wanted to welcome you and hope that you find the support you need here.

Welcome...I'm relatively new to this group myself, but been part of DS for a while now. I've made some great friends online and received much needed support and guidance. ;)

Welcome to the group! I haven't been online as much over the past couple of days because work is taking up pretty much all of my time (a blessing, because it helps distract me and keep my mind from going to nasty places, but a curse because I come home to a lot of emptiness and loneliness). But I'm here, we're all here. We're here to listen and to hear you and offer support.

Hi jamie. I'm new too. I learned something about codependency five years ago. I changed my life, and it was for the better.

but guess what ? just like that pesky poltergeist Its back ... Another family member another addiction, I feel even worse. There is a very fine line between being a parent and enabling, i just did what i thought was right. I have been doing the best I could. Oh and there are alcoholics all over the place. I'm running out of family members...

I understand what codependency is but I am not choosing these people, they are my relatives and everyone in the family is sick.

Today, I had to have a stern talk with myself. I am depressed and just not functioning well in my daily activities, or my role at home or work. So, I am on a mission of self care as of today. I had to ask for help for myself.... that was new and different because of course i am the last person on my list... but lately I don't even make the cut.

so I am not doing as well i thought, I was still "faking it" even to myself. i got out my books and I am going to read them again.

this is a great group and it has helped me so much. it has been a life line as i live in an area that f2f meetings are very far away. glad you are here

Welcome. I have been on DS for a few weeks and it has been extremely helpful. Good information and support. I hope that you get what you need to start on your path to recovery.

Welcome Jamie! This group is full of great people who are willing to share their experiences and listen as well. This place has been such a big stepping stone on my path to recovery. I hope you will find this support group as helpful as I do. Best wishes to you.

I'm new to the group as well. I haven't been around much but I've read a few posts. Lots of interesting stuff to take in
