Hi Lizinaussie,
I am so curious where you read that? I have a relative who raised her kids this way unfortunately. She left AA, and became a religious zealot. I hadn't even thought that it was a sign of codependency. Can you explain that further?
Is certainly true in my case. Walking the path with that loving higher power is recovery in a nutshell and being rid of old ideas, especially that my higher power is just sitting round waiting for me to mess up so he/she can punish me.
I had the same experience. It changed my life and was the backbone of my step work and recovery.
