Patty - I'm in recovery for addiction and codependency. Live at home thanks to major damage while using, my stepmom is addicted to pills (which I once abused).
This F&F people have helped me out, tremendously, in realizing that I really can't do anything about her disease. She has no intention of changing, dad is a major codie and I do my best to stay out of the drama.
Al-anon has helped, coming here has helped, staying busy and not being home very often has helped.
Congratulations on 55 days!!
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
