My general belief is that alcoholism and codependency are concurrent. I'm sure, as always, there are exceptions but after eleven years of Alanon and AA meetings I'm comfortable with this belief. The alcoholic in my life, who is also in Alanon, agrees wholeheartedly-- we joke about it all the time-- and she spends far more time in AA and with many different alcoholics than I do.
P.s. I'm glad you are still here!
