Xabf said something last night that triggered me. Today I emailed him a response via his girlfriend (he doesn't keep up with his own email account.) She emailed some nasty stuff back, and of course I got triggered by that as well. I realize my mistake. I am also seeing how easy it is to be pulled into my/his/her/their/our drama. I need to learn how to stop and think clearly before I act, and turn to others for support.

It's hard to change what we are used to doing. It was second nature for me to react.

That's where having a sponsor and support group through the years has helped me. I'll pick up the phone and call someone else in recovery when I'm really emotional so that I don't react to something.

I've been doing that for so long now that it's second nature to call someone and not react.

Freedom, I look forward to the day I can say that!

Our codependency often turns us into drama junkies. We need it as much as they need their DOC.


If drama does not present itself, we go off and stir some up. It has the potential to take over our life.
