When you are dealing with anyone personally with an addiction problem, you are encouraged to attend Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, or CODA support groups. CoDA stands for Co-Dependents Anonymous — a fellowship of men and women whose common purpose is freedom from codependency and to develop healthy relationships. You may question or even deny you have a co-dependent personality. You may not, but here are some questions you should ask yourself to help you determine if a co-dependency group would be beneficial to you.
Ask yourself do you:
- have difficulty identifying or explaining exactly how you are feeling?
- minimize, alter, or deny how you truly feel when question by others?
- have a hard time making decisions?
- over judge everything you do, think or say harshly?
- feel as everything you do is never “good enough”?
- value others’ approval over your own in how you think, feel, or act?
appease others to avoid rejection and/or anger? - stay in unhealthy or unsafe situations too long?
- use sex to gain approval, acceptance and/or love?
If you answered yes to three or more of these, you may be a co-dependent. By attending a CODA support group, you will receive much support and insight to your own co-dependency.
