A lot of what you posted sounds familiar, teach, although I will admit that this post (and your next) were easier for me to get through at this hour than the first was. Anyway, it's got me thinking because a lot of what you said I thought was just part of being a member of the human race. I just always thought that EVERYONE felt these ways in one way or another. Now, I'm really wondering about my issues...
It's too much to absorb in one sitting. So, I'm closing my eyes and peeking with one at the "later stages" of codependency. It makes me wonder about the recent "awakening" of my addiction. I'm not sure that I really want to look all that closely (I'm sure that fit in somewhere in the first tome description). All the same, this will be an interesting topic to follow and, therefore, I'm subscribing to it. Besides, I just
had to respond. I felt this grave responsibility to help the thread get to 500
(couldn't resist... besides, it's somewhat true). Thanks for starting it, Grateful2b.
