Roots of Codependency in Addiction
! Family of Addict
! “If my husband is sober, I’m ok” ! “If my husband is drunk, I am not ok” ! Then you are never going to be ok because there is no
real YOU
! So we teach family members to find their own OK
! Not DEPENDENT ON ANOTHER’S OK

Recovery from Codependency
! Are you willing to feel uncomfortable at times, when you grow and change?
! Are you willing to feel emotions, including pain and fear?
! Are you willing to work the steps – by working through them at least once, and then learning to use them as daily living tools?
! Are you willing to work hard on yourself, possibly for a long time – as long as it takes to recover full circle or completely? (Beattie, 2011)

Recovery Communication ! Honest, direct communication
! I statements ! State facts neutrally “I see… came home late
again” (state facts/data/info) ! “I think/thought … she’s doing something bad/
wrong.” (your perception of fact) ! “I feel… terrified right now” (fine and good are not
feelings) ! “I want…to run (fight, hide, submit)”
(may be different or same as a need) ! “I need…to protect myself and work through my fear
and then talk with you about this”
