My problem with this article is it is written from the perspective of helping the alcoholic.
The whole positive reinforcement thing may or may not help with the A's behavior I can positively say it will reinforce my codie behavior. Because when I am using positive reinforcement with my A I am focusing on them and their behavior and their recovery and I am not focusing on mine.
No thanks, I've done that enough already. I'll be selfish and focus on me because the only recovery I have any control over is mine.
Your friend,
