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 am wondering do I have to go to meetings to work the 12 steps or can this be done on my own? I sort of don't understand it all yet and I found two meetings they are sort of far from me - 30 minute drive and I hope they are active ones. Mon and Tues nights two different places. I might try to attend one this week but have a busy schedule. I am reading the 12 steps booklet ( I ordered it on the internet) but may need a bit of guidance to get through it all? What do you all think? Can I do it alone?
I go to Al-Anon 12 step meetings. You cannot work the program alone, dear. There are phone meetings, though, if it is hard to get to face to face meetings. You can get a sponsor to help you on the phone. :)
Good luck!

Plus to put your recovery into the hands of another person even if they are a "sponsor" then it undermines the codependency which needs you to act and to make your own decisions independently.
I agree that you can use phone meetings, but I see the meetings as being required is a bit too much.
Just my opinion.
I am looking for a co-sponsor to work the steps with.
We could exchange the answers. let me know. thanks
