i'm trying very hard to comprehend co-dependency and to figure out why i do what i do. The constant problem is i stay in a relationship that i know is no good for me. I have been in a 5 yr relationship with someone who is addicted to pain pills. we have had numerous breakups with numerous promises for him to get off pills. Of course not one promise has been kept. I can't figure out why i put up with this shit. I know it's no good for me. I have 3 adult children and I would never put up with this from them. Every time we break up I swear that's it, but he makes promises that i believe and i take him back. Deep inside i know nothing is going to change. He is disabled and gives me his disability check so maybe it's financial, i don't know. I am disabled too, but i still work. Some input into my situation would be great.

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...
Working on US is our best chance at change. We know the deal deep inside, but sometimes the devil we know seems better than the devil we don't know. In short, familiar is what keeps many of us stuck. Along with of course thinking somehow we just MAY change the person.
We cannot change someone else. We are truly powerless. We have to decide one day that we want more for our lives. And for me I had to accept that it would be painful, but it would not kill me. I would restore my peace and serenity and begin living again.
Get and read Codependent No More. It is a real eye-opener. I saw so much of myself in that book. And sometimes we have to fake it until we make it.
Here is to taking good care of YOU and I will pray for your strength. It takes time, but every baby step IS a step forward.
Blessings..
