Yup another codie-freak here too. It's hard to change. Even though I am pretty darn aware of my codependent behaviors, I'll catch myself slipping into those behaviors. The good thing is.......I recognize it! Sometimes it's not until the next day but I recognize it none the less! It takes lots of practice. Just look at how long you've had those behaviors........they don't get "fixed" over night!
Celebrate your little successes.....recognize your slip ups and you'll do fine!
