New-point me in the direction
Permalink  
 


I am new here--new really to all of this as I just recently came to the realization that I am a codependent. Thanks to my Momma and my therapist. There was a sense of relief somewhat, in knowing what I was dealing with in myself, because before I felt like i was constantly searching. 

Anyway, I've read through the steps. There isn't a close enough face to face CODA meeting that works with my schedule. Is there an online chat room type group? Also where can I get broad direction on how exactly I "work the steps?"

 

Thanks so much

Welcome ape130, congratulations on finding out you have codependent behaviors. At least it gives you a place to start, right?

I'm not aware of any on-line CODA support groups, but there maybe.

The 12 steps groups all use the same basic theme, so an AA or NA, AL anon, meeting could be of some help, if you had no other option.

CODA web site has a work book that I used when I went to meetings. A small group would meet after the normal meeting to work through questions in the workbook.
Also there are lots of past post, on here, that can help you to discover some of what you might be feeling. Sometime after reading someone's post. I realize, a post I read, fits me perfectly. I just wasn't able to put it into words.

Not a lot of poster lately on here. a few more lookers, and less posters.

Toss out what you find a trouble spot, in your life. If I can relate to it some way. I will try to suggest what I did to heal from this thing called codependency.

Peace

Hello Ape130!

Welcome to MIP!  So glad you found us.  Fap123 pretty much covered things.  I will bump the step 1 post and you can read it and we will gladly participate in a discussion with you if you would like.

Then we can move on to Step 2!

 

As Fap123 said, perhaps there is another 12 step program close to you that would fit the bill and you can find a fellowship there.  But we are glad to go through it with you as well.

 

Keep coming back!

Willing

Wonderful! I will read it in a few hours. There is a 12 step addiction recovery program through my church. It's just not only codependents, but I plan to start that next week.
