Overcoming the codependency
Hi all, I am reading a lot of threads and looking for good books to read and any ideas on the journey to overcome codependency. I know this is my issue and I hope to one day be one of the success stories. What is it that we get from trying to help people who can't or won't help themselves. Why do I continue to do this when I don't keep busy doing more productive things with my life? I must feel the need to do this for some reason but I can not seem to figure out why. It is like an addiction to help or focus on someone else maybe to avoid focusing on ourselves? I want to break this unhealthy cycle. I am off to the book store to read a book mentioned in a post by Honeypig. Hoping to get the ball rolling.
