One concept that can be complicated to wrangle with is around our resentments, anger, dis-ease, etc at and to .... ourselves. I see a connection between us being an alcoholic - and OUR behavioral patterns and our defects- to how we relate to everyone else, regardless of whether the people in our lives are actual addicts and alcoholics. And anyone is likely to have had unsuccessful and dysfunctional relationships to some degree, right? So I can see how us, as the alcoholics, can benefit from another way of understanding ourselves and our disease, and how we want to relate in healthy ways to others going forward. How we used to "choose" people, what kind of life we had in relation to others, all kinds of pretty deep stuff.
Just my $0.02 on the benefits of a co-dependency program for us alcoholics.
