Codependency Recovery

Addiction is a black hole that threatens to engulf our entire society. In the US alone, over 100 million people are addicted, and according to the World Health Organization, over 3.3 million people die from alcohol related deaths alone each year. Billions of dollars spent on prevention and treatment have yet to slow the ever-rising rate of addiction-related deaths. The current models have failed.

Codependent behaviors can affect a person’s life in more negative ways than they might know. When untreated, codependency can lead to major problems including drug addiction, alcoholism, and personality disorders. While everyone shows codependent behaviors from time to time, a person who developed codependency while growing up can find it the hardest to overcome.

Addiction is a difficult and painful road, and to love an addict is to try and maneuver that road without ever having learned how to drive. For the codependent, loving an addict is going 100 miles an hour without a seatbelt. As loved ones of addicts, the more we can understand addiction and codependency and how the two impact each other in personal relationships, the better able we will be to recognize what we need to do, both for ourselves and for the addicts in our lives.

It is estimated that as many as 34 million people grew up in alcoholic homes. But what about the rest of us?

Countless millions of us struggle with these kinds of dysfunctions every day, and until very recently we struggled alone.

I was a rescuer for 47 years. I spent those years ignoring my own problems and trying to rescue everyone else. I had been socially programmed to be a rescuer by my family. Rescuing was part of my family-culture and ran through our DNA going back at least four generations. My grandfathers were rescuers too, and like me, their rescuing behaviors destroyed relationships and cost lives. My rescuing behaviors cost me two marriages, both ending in divorce, and left me burned-out and broke without food for my children on Christmas Eve.
